As our world's population grows, so does the demand for ammonia—a key ingredient in fertilizer. The International Renewable ...

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 -- ...

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 ...

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 ...

Nitrogen is crucial to plant life, and nitrogen-based fertilizers were essential for crops at the start of the 20th Century to produce more food. Even though there is limited supply of usable nitrogen ...

The goal there would be to make this method more energy efficient that the Haber-Bosch process. Alongside the Sydney team's work, researchers elsewhere in the world are trying to greenify ammonia ...

Renner and Sankaran have resurrected an element from a little-known Norwegian method that predated Haber-Bosch (the Birkeland-Eyde process), which reacted nitrogen and oxygen to produce nitrates, ...

Ammonia is one of the most important chemicals in modern society. It is obtained using the process developed by Carl Bosch 150 years ago. The chemist and process engineer Carl Bosch was born in ...

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 ...

Applying an external magnetic field during the synthesis of CoFe2O4 electrocatalysts triples the ammonia yield during ...
