Novel catalyst design boosts solar-driven ammonia production under mild conditions
Sunlight, water, air and metal-organic catalysts-that could be all it takes. TU Wien has shown how catalyst design can be advanced for solar-driven NH3 synthesis. Without this chemical technology, feeding the world as we know it would be nearly impossible. The Haber-Bosch process, developed more than a century ago, converts nitrogen from the air into ammonia-the key ingredient in most synthetic fertilizers. Today, roughly half of the world's food production depends on fertilizers derived from am
