Researchers develop earth-abundant photocatalyst for conversion of ammonia into hydrogen

Green Car Congress

The research follows government and industry investment to create infrastructure and markets for carbon-free liquid ammonia fuel that will not contribute to greenhouse warming. Liquid ammonia is easy to transport and packs a lot of energy, with one nitrogen and three hydrogen atoms per molecule. —Yuan et al.

New stable Fe3O4/C composite material for conversion electrode in solid-state Li-ion batteries

Green Car Congress

Researchers in Europe, with colleagues from Samsung R&D Institute in Japan, have developed a highly stable Fe 3 O 4 /C composite for use as a conversion electrode in all-solid-state Li-ion batteries. In addition, recently a new chemistry has surfaced, allowing to store more Li + by the so-called conversion mechanism.

RAL proposes new efficient and low-cost process to crack ammonia for hydrogen using sodium amide; transportation applications

Green Car Congress

Bosch process for the industrial synthesis of ammonia has, over the past century, led to a global revolution in agriculture to the extent that almost half the crops grown across the world today depend on ammonia-based fertilizers. 3 in the liquid form) H 2 density and is produced on an industrial scale. 10 bar at room temperature).

Stanford researchers make ammonia from air and water microdroplets

Green Car Congress

The conversion rate reaches 32.9 ± 1.38 This one-step nitrogen-fixation strategy to produce ammonia is eco-friendly and low cost, which converts widely available starting materials into a value-added product. That, in turn, would slash the greenhouse gas emissions related to the transportation of ammonia from far-off factories.
