Nanjing University of Technology: New catalysts help efficient and green production of ammonia

Recently, Professor Yuping Wu’s research group from Nanjing University of Technology and Professor Yan Zhao’s research group from Wuhan University of Technology proved that the new single-atom catalyst (Mo/BP) is a promising electrochemical ammonia synthesis catalyst, which is expected to greatly increase the production of ammonia.

At present, under the influence of the global low-carbon economy and China's sustainable development strategy, the development of new green synthetic ammonia technology to replace the traditional Haber-Bosch process is one of the current research hotspots

"The key to the practical application of electrocatalytic ammonia synthesis technology is to design and prepare electrocatalysts with high activity and high stability

"Synthetic ammonia is essentially a reduction reaction

Relevant research results have successfully proved theoretically the progress effect of the new catalyst (Mo/BP) on the progress of the synthetic ammonia reaction, which will directly have an important impact on the experimental application.
