agricultural fertilizer

Abstract Industrially synthesized ammonia (NH3) is essential to support the world population because approximately 85% of global NH3 production is used as agricultural fertilizer. Recently, NH3 has also been considered as a promising carbon-free H2 carrier for energy storage and transportation. Ammonia’s relatively high boiling point of −33.4 °C (at atmospheric pressure) enables facile liquefaction […]

Abstract curbing climate change goes hand-in-hand with decarbonizing energy production. But how can communities continue to meet the global demand for electricity without releasing more CO2? A cadre of chemists says one solution may be hiding in an unlikely source: ammonia—the pungent, clear, nitrogen-rich gas, or liquid, that’s most often used as an agricultural fertilizer. […]
