Scientists find new way to catalyze ammonia synthesis
Fei Chang, Peter Ngene and Petra de Jongh, together with other researchers from Utrecht and Eindhoven managed to design and make an ammonia synthesis catalysts catalyst that operates under moderate conditions and only contains carbon and potassium, yet rivals that based on scarce metals. The results were published in Nature Catalysis. Read more in Dutch…
