Researchers at Stanford and King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals have showcased the capabilities of the new ammonia-making device.
A new device has been made that can make a key fertilizer ingredient – commonly known as ammonia – directly from the air using wind energy.
Interestingly, the device harnesses wind energy to draw air through a mesh, facilitating ammonia production. They investigated the influence of various environmental factors, water droplet properties, and catalyst combinations on ammonia production. This research aimed to identify the ideal conditions for efficient and effective ammonia synthesis.By passing air through a mesh coated with catalysts, experts were able to extract nitrogen and hydrogen from the atmosphere and convert them into ammonia.
This advanced system can produce sufficient ammonia in just two hours to fertilize plants in greenhouses and potentially support larger-scale agricultural applications.
