Supported binary CuO x –Pt catalysts with high activity and thermal stability for the combustion of NH 3 as a carbon-free energy source

Although NH 3 has been thought to be a renewable and carbon-free energy source, the use of NH 3 fuel is hindered by its high ignition temperature and N 2 O/NO production. To overcome these issues, NH 3 combustion over CuO x /Pt/Al 2 O 3 catalysts was performed.
