Synthetic ammonia is a low-cost chemical material. It is a novel clean energy with broad application prospects and possesses high energy density and octane value, convenient conditions for storage and transportation, and combustion without CO₂ emissions. Ammonia can replace gasoline, diesel and other fossil fuels and supply clean fuel for automotive engines, moreover, it can provide hydrogen energy for vehicle fuel cells through catalytic decomposition. Being the ideal alternative to traditional petroleum fuels, ammonia offers another fuel choice for solving the problems of environmental pollution and energy shortage. This paper mainly focuses on the advantages and maneuverability of ammonia used as engine fuel and fuel cell raw material in automotive power source, and the related research progress at home and abroad. The research progress and limitation of the catalytic system for ammonia decomposition and the research status of synthetic ammonia were introduced.
