What Are Some Alternatives and Innovations in Catalysis for Ammonia Production?
Researchers are exploring several alternatives and innovations to improve the efficiency and sustainability of ammonia production:
- Electrocatalysis: Using electricity to drive the reaction at lower temperatures and pressures, potentially using renewable energy sources. - Biocatalysis: Utilizing enzymes and microorganisms to produce ammonia under ambient conditions. - New Catalytic Materials: Developing catalysts based on non-precious metals, metal nitrides, or phosphides that offer better performance at milder conditions.
