Electrochemical nitrate reduction to ammonia using laser-processed Nb2AlC: the role of effective Al etching

Electrocatalytic nitrate reduction reaction to ammonia (NH3) is a promising approach for generating NH3 compared with the widely used Haber–Bosch process. It offers the advantage of zero carbon emission and helps in recycling nitrate waste. However, the challenge remains in the synthesis and engineering of proficient electrocatalytic materials with high faradaic efficiency and yield rate. …

Magnetically Propelled Microrobots toward Photosynthesis of Green Ammonia from Nitrates

Ammonia (NH₃) production is a critical industrial process, as ammonia is a key component in fertilizers, essential for global agriculture and food production. However, the current method of synthesizing ammonia, the Haber-Bosch process, is highly energy-intensive, and relies on fossil fuels, contributing substantially to greenhouse gas emissions. Moreover, the centralized nature of the Haber-Bosch process …

Copper 3D-Printed Electrodes for Ammonia Electrosynthesis via Nitrate Reduction

Ammonia is critical to the world economy. However, nowadays the production of ammonia is exclusively carried out by the well-known Haber–Bosch process, which is an energy-intensive process that leads to a large amount of CO2 emissions. The search for alternative ammonia production routes is mandatory for a sustainable and zero emissions future economy. Electrochemical nitrate-to-ammonia …
