AMMONIA DECOMPOSITION CATALYST

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a transition metal-deposited ammonia decomposition catalyst to be used in a method for decomposing ammonia or when hydrogen is produced from ammonia. SOLUTION: The transition metal-deposited ammonia decomposition catalyst having a specific structure is produced by dissolving a hydrazone compound in acetone to obtain a solution, mixing the solution with another solution of a transition metal compound such as ruthenium chloride to obtain a transition metal complex in which a transition metal is coordinated to the hydrazone compound, adding activated carbon to the transition metal complex to obtain a mixture, and heat-treating the mixture at 360-900°C in a reductive atmosphere.
