A Supportive Support: The Important Role of Porous Supports in Plasma-Catalytic Ammonia Synthesis
Ammonia powers the fertilizers that feed half the world, yet making it still relies on a century-old process running at extreme temperatures and pressures. Plasma catalysis offers a greener path — but there's a catch: the plasma that helps make ammonia also destroys it almost instantly.
The real game-changer? Surface acidity.
Read the new article about the research involving Dr. Michal Mazur and his student Daria Sudakova. The article was published in the scientific journal ACS Catalysis and is a result of collaboration with prof. Blaž Likozar, Matej Huš and Katja Vodlan from the National Institute of Chemistry (Ljubljana, Slovenia) for the collaboration.
