BUFFALO, N.Y. — 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 ...

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 ...

The Haber-Bosch process is responsible for over 1% of global carbon dioxide emissions every year, making it the biggest CO2 belcher among industrial chemical reactions. The multistep reaction, which ...

Ever wanted to produce nitrogen fertilizer like they did in the 1900s? In that case, you’re probably looking at the Birkeland-Eyde process, which was the first industrial-scale atmospheric nitrogen ...

A phosphonium salt speeds the delivery of protons and boosts the performance of an electrochemical Haber-Bosch process to record levels (Science, 2021 DOI: 10.1126/science.abg2371). The Haber-Bosch ...

Fixation of Nitrogen (N2) to Ammonia (NH3) is an essential process for maintaining life on earth. Currently, Ammonia (NH3) production is dominated by the Haber–Bosch process. It operates under ...

The commercial production of ammonia en masse began in the early 1900’s and since then it has played an increasingly important role in the world’s food supply. Prior to ammonia synthesis being ...

A plasma-electrochemical reactor developed by the team of Chris Li can convert nitrogren in the air into ammonia without a carbon footprint. BUFFALO, N.Y. — There’s a good chance you owe your ...
