Team Ammine
Ammonia is a carbon-free fuel produced on a scale of over 150 M tons / year. We examine the fundamental chemistry of N-H and N-N bond cleavage and formation that guides the development of molecular electrocatalysts based on iron and copper to cleanly generate energy from NH3 and ultimately, to sustainably produce NH3 from N2.
