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 -- ...

Ammonia, with its high hydrogen storage density of 17.7 wt.% (mass fraction), cleanliness, efficiency, and renewability, presents itself as a promising zero-carbon fuel. However, the traditional Haber ...

In the March issue of Nature Synthesis, chemistry professor Paul Chirik’s lab published a groundbreaking paper reporting photocatalytic, room-temperature synthesis of ammonia. The work, he told The ...

We here on Earth live at the bottom of an ocean of nitrogen. Nearly 80% of every breath we take is nitrogen, and the element is a vital component of the building blocks of life. Nitrogen is critical ...

A new review evaluates dielectric barrier discharge plasma technology for producing ammonia at ambient conditions, offering a renewable energy compatible path beyond the Haber-Bosch process.

University of Sydney researchers have harnessed human-made lightning to develop a more efficient method of generating ammonia—one of the world's most important chemicals. Ammonia is also the main ...

Scientists at Australia's Monash University claim to have made a critical breakthrough in green ammonia production that could displace the extremely dirty Haber-Bosch process, with the potential to ...

This story originally appeared on Yale Environment 360 and is part of the Climate Desk collaboration. In Minnesota, there’s a research farm peppered with wind turbines that, when in full swing, boasts ...

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 ...
