A new research breakthrough at Stanford University and King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals has developed a way to generate ammonia from the atmosphere without requiring an external power source. Ammonia is a key component of fertilizer and has recently gained attention as a sustainable fuel source for hydrogen production. The innovative technique uses a micromesh coated with catalysts to combine atmospheric nitrogen with water vapor to create ammonia. This groundbreaking system could be revolutionary in providing a cost-effective and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional centralized ammonia production, potentially reshaping the fertilizer industry and advancing various industrial applications.
