Hydrogen gas is generated by the electrolysis of liquid ammonia which has high hydrogen capacity of 17.8 mass%. The metal amides are used as supporting electrolytes to dissolve the amide ion in liquid ammonia. The results presented here indicate that liquid ammonia is promising as an energy medium for hydrogen storage and generation.

For many years distinction has been made between acid denaturation, alkali denaturation, and the heat denaturation of proteins. In a recent review (24) heat is classified as a “physical” denaturing agent and hydrogen and hydroxyl ions as “chemical” denaturing agents. Nevertheless, it is clear that the intensity factors associated with acidity and alkalinity (the pH) and with heat (the temperatu...
