“This is clearly an important step in the right direction,” says Carsten Sievers at Georgia Institute of Technology, who also works on mechanochemical ammonia synthesis and was not involved in ...

Scientists are working on ways to improve the efficiency of the ammonia synthesis process ... it is the previously unregarded hydrogenation steps that determine the overall rate.

The novel iron-based catalyst exhibits superior performance for ammonia (NH3) synthesis compared to a ... has taken a bold step forward with an innovative approach towards catalyst design.

The Ba 3 SiO 5−x N y H z catalyst's ammonia synthesis activity was tested under varying temperatures and pressures, and ...

"This allows us to figure out the reaction mechanism," An said. "We're able to see important reaction steps in ammonia synthesis." The researchers' successful peek inside that reaction "enables ...

Using these non-agglomerated reactants and adding the gaseous hydrogen used in the final step of ammonia synthesis, they were able to produce ammonia more quickly; the reaction substantially sped up.

Cao Hujun, Gao Wenbo and their collaborators from the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics (DICP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) have proposed a new process for ammonia synthesis using ...
