science 💡 Solar power makes green ammonia possible ☀️
Scientists have achieved a major breakthrough by creating green ammonia using only sunlight, water, and air. This innovation was developed by a team involving TCG CREST and others, and it utilizes a tin-doped bismuth molybdate material. The new photocatalytic method is nearly eleven times more efficient than old methods and operates at room temperature. This offers a sustainable alternative to the highly polluting Haber-Bosch process which consumes 1% of global energy. Scaling this technology could enable decentralized, cleaner fertilizer and energy production worldwide.
