Scientists develop metal-organic framework composites that convert nitrogen to ammonia using renewable electricity, offering ...

The revolutionary use of ammonia (NH3) * as a fertilizer has greatly benefited human food production. Recently, it has drawn attention again, as the use of green ammonia is considered a significant ...

Industrial production of ammonia, primarily for synthetic fertilizer — the fuel for last century’s Green Revolution — is one of the world’s largest chemical markets, but also one of the most energy ...

A team of researchers at Radboud University has discovered a promising new method to make ammonia—a key ingredient in ...

Among the many chemicals we use every day, ammonia is one of the worst for the atmosphere. The nitrogen-based chemical used in fertilizer, dyes, explosives and many other products ranks second only to ...

Nanocatalysts, with their small size and high surface area-to-volume ratio, significantly enhance catalytic activity in industrial processes such as ammonia production. 1 By integrating nanocatalysts, ...

Green ammonia is produced using renewable energy, green hydrogen, and nitrogen from the air, making it more environmentally friendly than brown ammonia. Several hard-to-abate industries, such as ...

In spite of 3 Nobel Prizes (1918, 1931, and 2007) for the Haber-Bosch process, it has not been possible to experimentally investigate the catalyst surface with surface-sensitive methods under real ...

The Haber-Bosch process, which is widely used to produce ammonia (NH 3), the basis for synthetic nitrogen fertilizers, by blending hydrogen (H 2) and nitrogen (N 2) over catalysts at high pressures ...

Synthesizing ammonia, the key ingredient in fertilizer, is energy intensive and a significant contributor to greenhouse gas warming of the planet. Chemists designed and synthesized porous materials -- ...
