, a chemical currently used to store hydrogen in fuel cells that power electric vehicles, might also provide us with clean fuel to launch rockets and satellites.
This is the first time researchers have proved that, given the appropriate conditions, ammonia borane could be used to power rockets as well as electric vehicles. According to the study, this chemical also has various advantages over other types of rocket fuels, including greater energy, reduced costs, and no need for frozen storage. This is crucial as, with more and more rockets launching into the sky, the impact of rocket emissions is now starting to become a much more disputable topic. Depending on the fuel used, rocket launches that carry us to the moon and beyond can actually shoot massive amounts of soot into the upper layers of the atmosphere.
Ammonia borane, on the other hand, is currently utilized to store hydrogen in fuel cells that power electric vehicles, and the researchers have found that a combination of boron-hydrogen can provide enough energy to launch rockets. In contrast to the most commonly used rocket fuels, ammonia borane emits the benign compounds boron oxide and wateronce when burned, and according to the researchers, which have published the study in
