This discovery, published in the <em>Journal of the American Chemical Society<\/em> on July 10, makes it possible not only to safely and conveniently store ammonia, but also the important hydrogen is carries. This finding should help lead the way to a decarbonized society with a practical hydrogen economy.<\/p>\n<p>For society to make the switch from carbon-based to hydrogen-based energy, we need a safe way to store and transport hydrogen, which by itself is highly combustible. One way to do this is to store it as part of another molecule and extract it as needed. Ammonia, chemically written as NH<sub>3<\/sub>, makes a good hydrogen carrier because three hydrogen atoms are packed into each molecule, with almost 20% of ammonia being hydrogen by weight.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Japanese scientists have discovered a compound, ethylammonium lead iodide, which can store and release ammonia safely and efficiently.
