SENSORS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2024; 24:3695. [PMID: 38894485 PMCID: PMC11175204 DOI: 10.3390/s24113695] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/22/2024] [Revised: 06/04/2024] [Accepted: 06/05/2024] [Indexed: 06/21/2024]
Abstract
A novel NH3 gas sensor is introduced, employing polyaniline (PANI) with a unique structure called a graft film. The preparation method was simple: polydopamine (PD) was coated on a flexible polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film and PANI graft chains were grown on its surface. This distinctive three-layer sensor showed a response value of 12 for 50 ppm NH3 in a dry atmosphere at 50 °C. This value surpasses those of previously reported sensors using structurally controlled PANI films. Additionally, it is on par with sensors that combine PANI with metal oxide semiconductors or carbon materials, the high sensitivity of which have been reported. To confirm our film's potential as a flexible sensor, the effect of bending on the its characteristics was investigated. This revealed that although bending decreased the response value, it had no effect on the response time or recovery. This indicated that the sensor film itself was not broken by bending and had sufficient mechanical strength.

Abstract
Hydrogen is often regarded as an ideal energy carrier. Its use in energy conversion devices does in fact not produce any pollutants. However, due to challenges related to its transportation and storage, liquid hydrogen carriers are being investigated. Among the liquid hydrogen carriers, ammonia is considered very promising because it is easy to store and transport, and its conversion to hydrogen has only nitrogen as a byproduct. This work focuses on a review of the latest results of studies dealing with ammonia decomposition for hydrogen production. After a general introduction to the topic, this review specifically focuses on works presenting results of membrane reactors for ammonia decomposition, particularly describing the different reactor configurations and operating conditions, membrane properties, catalysts, and purification steps that are required to achieve pure hydrogen for fuel cell applications.

Abstract
This study reports the performance and durability of a protonic ceramic fuel cells (PCFCs) in an ammonia fuel injection environment. The low ammonia decomposition rate in PCFCs with lower operating temperatures is improved relative to that of solid oxide fuel cells by treatment with a catalyst. By treating the anode of the PCFCs with a palladium (Pd) catalyst at 500 °C under ammonia fuel injection, the performance (peak power density of 340 mW cm-2 at 500 °C) is approximately two-fold higher than that of the bare sample not treated with Pd. Pd catalysts are deposited through an atomic layer deposition post-treatment process on the anode surface, in which nickel oxide (NiO) and BaZr0.2 Ce0.6 Y0.1 Yb0.1 O3-δ (BZCYYb) are mixed, and Pd can penetrate the anode surface and porous interior. Impedance analysis confirmed that Pd increased the current collection and significantly reduced the polarization resistance, particularly in the low-temperature region (≈500 °C), thereby improving the performance. Furthermore, stability tests showed that superior durability is achieved compared with that of the bare sample. Based on these results, the method presented herein is expected to represent a promising solution for securing high-performance and stable PCFCs based on ammonia injection.

Abstract
Ammonia is an energy-dense liquid hydrogen carrier and fuel whose accessible dissociation chemistries offer promising alternatives to hydrogen electrolysis, compression and dispensing at scale. Catalytic ammonia reforming has thus emerged as an area of renewed focus within the ammonia and hydrogen energy research & development communities. However, a majority of studies emphasize the discovery of new catalytic materials and their evaluation under idealized laboratory conditions. This Perspective highlights recent advances in ammonia reforming catalysts and their demonstrations in realistic application scenarios. Key knowledge gaps and technical needs for real reformer devices are emphasized and presented alongside enabling catalyst and reaction engineering fundamentals to spur future investigations into catalytic ammonia reforming.

Abstract
Ammonia is an excellent medium for solar thermal chemical energy storage and can also use excess heat to produce hydrogen without carbon emission. To deepen the study of ammonia decomposition in these two fields, finite-time thermodynamics is used to model a solar-heating, co-current sweeping ammonia decomposition membrane reactor. According to the needs of energy storage systems and solar hydrogen production, five performance indicators are put forward, including the heat absorption rate (HAR), ammonia conversion rate (ACR), hydrogen production rate (HPR), entropy generation rate (EGR) and energy conversion rate (ECR). The effects of the light intensity, ammonia flow rate, nitrogen flow rate and palladium membrane radius on system performances are further analyzed. The results show that the influences of the palladium membrane radius and nitrogen flow rate on reactor performances are very slight. When the light intensity is increased from 500 W/m2 to 800 W/m2, the ACR, EGR, HAR and HPR increase obviously, but the ECR decreases by 14.2%. When the ammonia flow rate is increased by 100%, the ECR, EGR and HPR increase by more than 70%, the HAR increases by 15.6% and the ACR decreases by 12.9%. At the same time, the ammonia flow rate needs to be adjusted with the light intensity. The results can provide some guiding significance for the engineering application of ammonia solar energy storage systems and solar hydrogen production.

Abstract
In this paper, an ammonia decomposition membrane reactor is applied to a solar heat absorption system, and thermodynamic optimization is carried out according to the usage scenarios. First, a model of an ammonia decomposition solar heat absorption system based on the membrane reactor is established by using finite time thermodynamics (FTT) theory. Then, the three-objective optimization with and the four-objective optimization without the constraint of the given heat absorption rate are carried out by using the NSGA-II algorithm. Finally, the optimized performance objectives and the corresponding design parameters are obtained by using the TOPSIS decision method. Compared with the reference system, the TOPSIS optimal solution for the three-objective optimization can reduce the entropy generation rate by 4.8% and increase the thermal efficiency and energy conversion rate by 1.5% and 1.4%, respectively. The optimal solution for the four-objective optimization can reduce the heat absorption rate, entropy generation rate, and energy conversion rate by 15.5%, 14%, and 8.7%, respectively, and improve the thermal efficiency by 15.7%. The results of this paper are useful for the theoretical study and engineering application of ammonia solar heat absorption systems based on membrane reactors.

Abstract
The emerging concept of the hydrogen economy is facing challenges associated with hydrogen storage and transport. The utilization of ammonia as an energy (hydrogen) carrier for the on-site generation of hydrogen via ammonia decomposition has gained attraction among the scientific community. Ruthenium-based catalysts are highly active but their high cost and less abundance are limitations for scale-up application. Therefore, combining ruthenium with cheaper transition metals such as nickel, cobalt, iron, molybdenum, etc., to generate metal-metal (bimetallic) surfaces suitable for ammonia decomposition has been investigated in recent years. Herein, the recent trends in developing bimetallic catalyst systems, the role of metal type, support materials, promoter, synthesis techniques, and the investigations of the reaction kinetics and mechanism for ammonia decomposition have been reviewed.

Abstract
A highly sensitive NH3 gas sensor based on micrometer-sized polyaniline (PANI) spheres was successfully fabricated. The PANI microspheres were prepared via a facile in situ chemical oxidation polymerization in a polystyrene microsphere dispersion solution, resulting in a core–shell structure. The sensor response increased as the diameter of the microspheres increased. The PSt@PANI(4.5) sensor, which had microspheres with a 4.5 μm average diameter, showed the largest response value of 77 for 100 ppm dry NH3 gas at 30 °C, which was 20 times that of the PANI-deposited film-based sensor. Even considering measurement error, the calculated detection limit was 46 ppb. A possible reason for why high sensitivity was achieved is simply the use of micrometer-sized PANI spherical particles. This research succeeded in providing a new and simple technology for developing a high-sensitivity NH3 gas sensor that operates at room temperature.

Abstract
Membrane reactors for hydrogen production have been extensively studied in the past years due to the interest in developing systems that are adequate for the decentralized production of high-purity hydrogen. Research in this field has been both experimental and theoretical. The aim of this work is two-fold. On the one hand, modeling work on membrane reactors that has been carried out in the past is presented and discussed, along with the constitutive equations used to describe the different phenomena characterizing the behavior of the system. On the other hand, an attempt is made to shed some light on the meaning and usefulness of models developed with different degrees of complexity. The motivation has been that, given the different ways and degrees in which transport models can be simplified, the process is not always straightforward and, in some cases, leads to conceptual inconsistencies that are not easily identifiable or identified.
