Taking inspiration from how nature — including lightning — produces ammonia, a UB-led team has developed a reactor that produces the chemical commodity from nitrogen in the air and water, without any ...

This plasma-electrochemical reactor, described in a study published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society, can sustain a high ammonia production rate of approximately 1 gram per day for ...

and the electrochemical conversion of nitrate to ammonia. One significant area of research is the development of lithium metal batteries (LMBs), which are known for their high energy density.

The team designed this new rector, which is a plasma-electrochemical reactor. Remarkably, this new reactor can produce roughly 1 gram of ammonia per day for over 1,000 hours at room temperature.
