What Are the Key Achievements of the Fritz Haber Institute?
The FHI has several landmark achievements in catalysis:
- Ammonia Synthesis: Research at the FHI has led to improvements in the Haber-Bosch process, which is critical for ammonia production and, consequently, for fertilizers. - Surface Science Techniques: Development of advanced methods like Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM) and X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) to study catalytic surfaces. - Environmental Catalysis: Innovations in this area have led to better catalytic converters, which reduce harmful emissions from vehicles.
