Researchers at the University of Tokyo have successfully used ‘artificial photosynthesis’ to produce ammonia using atmospheric nitrogen, water, and sunlight, much like how cyanobacteria synthesize the ...

Schüth’s team passed a mixture of hydrogen and nitrogen over the churning balls, testing the reaction ... enough ammonia to fertilize 10hectares of farmland. “If you want to make fertilizers ...

Converting ammonia production to a low-emission process is one of the major challenges in the fight against climate change.

a pressure-swing adsorption system removes the nitrogen. About 80% of the hydrogen used to make ammonia comes out of the process as a product. Because hydrogen-containing tail gases are recycled ...

Researchers from Stanford University, USA, and King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals in Saudi Arabia, have discovered a simpler and greener reaction that combines water and nitrogen to make ...

The ease of transport and high hydrogen density make ... of the ammonia conversion reaction. In contrast, they observed that the lack of an electric field significantly slowed down the nitrogen ...

To make ammonia, which is a compound of nitrogen and hydrogen, the hydrogen should join hands with nitrogen (a reduction reaction) and not binge away on its own. In a typical electrochemical ...

"The current way we make ammonia via the Haber-Bosch method produces more CO2 than any other chemical-making reaction," she ... and convert it back into hydrogen and nitrogen, or they can use ...

an electrochemical cell which uses a copper catalyst to push the reaction further along, stripping the nitrogen out of the plasma and binding it with the hydrogen in the water to make ammonia.
