Revolutionary Electro-Driven Chemical Looping Method Enables Ammonia Synthesis
A new electrodriven chemical-looping process for the synthesis of ammonia has been successfully tested in a lab setting, paving the way for a more sustainable production of this essential chemical. The method, developed by scientists from the University of Birmingham and Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, could make ammonia production more efficient and environmentally friendly. The electrodriven process eliminates the need for a catalyst and relies solely on electricity, making it more cost-effective and versatile. In a paper published in Nature Communications, the team explains how the process works and its potential.
