Nearly a century ago, German chemist Fritz Haber won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for a process to generate ammonia from hydrogen and nitrogen gases. The process, still in use today, ushered in a ...

Ammonia is a vital chemical feedstock and a promising hydrogen carrier. Through the integration of in situ electron ...

Ammonia is commonly used in fertilizer because it has the highest nitrogen content of commercial fertilizers, making it essential for crop production. However, two carbon dioxide molecules are made ...

In a project out of Stanford’s Zarelab, scientists Richard Zare, Xiaowei Song and Chanbasha Basheer discovered a new, eco-friendly chemical process that they say could transform how we create ammonia, ...

Making ammonia from nitrogen and hydrogen via the Haber-Bosch process has been critical to fertilizing the world’s crops for more than a century, but there’s been little need to run the reaction in ...

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 ...

Ammonia production via the Haber-Bosch process is the chemical industry’s greatest source of greenhouse gas emissions and accounts for 2% of global energy consumption. Now, a Boston-based start-up ...

Driving the Transition to Sustainable Ammonia Production through Advanced Techno-Economic Analysis The global energy transition and the urgent need to decarbonize the chemicals industry have brought ...

HOUSTON – (May 2, 2022) – A dash of ruthenium atoms on a mesh of copper nanowires could be one step toward a revolution in the global ammonia industry that also helps the environment. Collaborators at ...

Engineers have developed a high-performance nanowire catalyst that pulls ammonia and solid ammonia (fertilizer) from nitrate, a common contaminant in industrial wastewater and polluted groundwater. A ...
