Improvement of ammonia synthesis: The new iron -based catalyst exceeds the century benchmark
Powerful electronic donation from aluminum hydrogen to iron surface promotes decomposed nitrogen molecules and continues ammonia synthesis even at 50 ° C. Credit: Tokyo Science Research Institute NH3 is one of the most important chemicals in the world today because it is used to produce fertilizers to increase agricultural yield and maintain a growing world group. For more than 100…

Eco-friendly reactor mimics lightning to produce ammonia from air and water
A plasma electrochemical reactor developed by Chris Li’s team can convert nitrogen in the air into ammonia without producing carbon dioxide emissions. Credit: Douglas Levere/University at Buffalo There’s a good chance you owe your existence to the Haber-Bosch process. This industrial chemical reaction between hydrogen and nitrogen produces ammonia, a key ingredient in the synthetic fertilizers that provide much of…

Study of iron catalysts provides insight into ammonia decomposition
Credit: ACS Catalysis (2024). DOI: 10.1021/acscatal.4c04415 The use of ammonia is considered a promising method to transport hydrogen. But we also need an efficient process to convert it back into hydrogen and nitrogen. An international research team has gained new insights into the mode of operation of iron catalysts that can be used to split ammonia into nitrogen and hydrogen.…
