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 ...

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 ...

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.
