One of their potential applications is as catalysts for the synthesis of ammonia.
Key Points:
- One of their potential applications is as catalysts for the synthesis of ammonia.
- The synthesis rate for ammonia is generally limited by the high energy required to dissociate nitrogen molecules.
- Recently, perovskites with some of their oxygen atoms replaced by hydrogen and nitrogen ions have been developed as efficient catalysts for ammonia synthesis.
- "Our results will pave the way in new catalyst design strategies for low-temperature ammonia synthesis," concludes Prof. Kitano.
