The reaction mechanism for catalytic ammonia production experimentally determined Date: January 10, 2024 Source: Stockholm University Summary: Researchers have now been able to study the surface ...

Researchers have been studying the industrial production of ammonia for a century. But they've struggled to find ways to improve the low-yield, low-efficiency process.

An algorithm that predicts catalytic mechanisms from reaction kinetics. The study of how chemical reactions work is key to the design of new reactions, but relies on hard work and expert knowledge.

Theory and reaction mechanisms Modern theoretical methods are now playing a central role in understanding reaction mechanism and are starting to enable catalyst design. This is an exciting topic to ...
