Ammonia, a vital component in fertilizers and a potential carrier for hydrogen, is currently produced through energy-intensive processes that contribute significantly to global carbon emissions. A team led by RMIT researchers has developed a groundbreaking low-energy approach to ammonia production that could revolutionize the industry. By utilizing liquid metal catalysts composed of copper and gallium, the team achieved efficient nitrogen and hydrogen splitting, offering a more cost-effective and environmentally friendly method compared to conventional catalysts. This innovation not only improves ammonia production but also presents opportunities for applications in the hydrogen industry, supporting the shift towards sustainable energy sources. The technology, currently at the lab testing stage, aims to be upscaled for both large-scale facilities and smaller decentralized production sites, enabling cheaper and cleaner production of ammonia. With the potential to reduce global carbon emissions significantly, this research marks a significant step towards a greener future. Supported by the Australian Research Council and other facilities, the study showcases the importance of research innovation in driving environmental sustainability.
