Ammonia-to-hydrogen as a demonstration case.

In our published plasma catalysis study, ammonia decomposition to hydrogen was used as a representative system to demonstrate interpretable machine learning-guided catalyst discovery under nonthermal plasma conditions. The same strategy can be adapted to many other plasma-catalytic reactions where catalyst identity, plasma species, reactor design, and energy efficiency must be optimized together.
