Why Mn catalysts are not in literature for decomposition of ammonia. There is a lot of ammonia degradation on its nitrides but not on Mn oxides. Why it is so?
Bhanupratap Singh Solanki Good idea. Aliveness of mind has its place. Try it, young man!
You mean something like this?

Bhanupratap Singh Solanki Yes! You can also experiment with vanadium additives.
Oleg Novikov Thank you for your encouraging words and suggestion for V. Actually I am gathering information for this research. I was not able to find anything on Mn. On V, Mo and W I found considerable literature.
Jürgen Weippert The shared article is on combustion not on decomposition. I am more focused on catalytic decomposition of NH3 in N2 and H2 (with special emphasis on Mn) though thank you for your effort.
I suppose the only real chance would be MnO then, then, because higher oxides get reduced to that by hydrogen so you wouldn't have catalysis:
