Ammonia (NH3) is essential for fertilizers and emerging carbon-free energy technologies, yet its conventional production via ...

Ammonia, a key part of nitrogen fertilizers, is central to sustaining global food production. However, its manufacture is ...

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 ...

Ammonia may conjure thoughts of off odors, but the world is entirely dependent on the smelly stuff as a fertilizer and for use in myriad other industries. Problem is, nearly all the ammonia produced ...

When the current method for producing something is estimated to consume a staggering 1–2% of the annual global energy supply, it means we need to make a change. The Haber-Bosch process produces ample ...

Scientists in Korea develop a cleaner and cheaper method to produce ammonia on a large scale and reduce emissions.

There’s a good chance you owe your existence to the Haber-Bosch process. This industrial chemical reaction between hydrogen and nitrogen produces ammonia, the key ingredient to synthetic fertilizers ...

In this study, ultrasmall molybdenum (Mo) metal particles were used to help break the triple bonds between nitrogen atoms in nitrogen gas (N2) at lower than standard temperatures and pressure, thus ...

Humans weren’t the first organisms on this planet to figure out how to turn the abundance of nitrogen in the atmosphere into a chemically useful form; that honor goes to some microbes that learned how ...

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 -- ...
