Nanoscale material encourages electrochemical production of ammonia

Researchers in China have succeeded in developing an electrocatalytic nanomaterial consisting of a vanadium oxide core with a vanadium nitride shell designed to recycle nitrogen into the important substance ammonia. The researchers found that they could adjust the ratio

An innovative approach to ammonia production based on renewable energy

In the study, the scientists examined collisions that occur between the molecules. Collisions of atoms have been studied in the past, but atoms - according to classical physics - are spherical, while molecules have an elongated structure. The structure of a colliding body affects the way it will move after the collision. Will elongated molecules behave differently from spherical atoms? And is knowing their shape enough to predict the outcome of the collision? Illustration: pixabay.com.
