The production of ammonia for fertilisers – which has one of the largest carbon footprints among industrial processes – will soon be possible on farms using low-cost, low-energy and environmentally ...

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 ...

New research has resulted in a greater understanding of how the Haber-Bosch process converts nitrogen to ammonia. For the past 100 years, the Haber-Bosch process has been used to convert atmospheric ...

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

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 Rice University’s George ...

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 ...

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