Fund Project: This work is supported by grants to Yong Lu from NNSF of China (20590366, 20573036), and the Science and Technology Commission of Shanghai Municipality (05QMX1418, 05DJ14002).

A sinter-locked three-dimensional network of microfibrous nickel catalyst has been fabricated based on wet layup papermaking and sintering processes and this novel approach permits the production of ~11 W fuel cell power H₂ via NH₃ decomposition with a conversion of 97% at 750℃ in a bed of 0.6 cm³.
