UNIST Unveils Groundbreaking Technology to Nearly Fully Decompose Nitrous Oxide at Room Temperature

Their findings have been published online in Advanced Materials on September 26, with the official publication forthcoming.

UNIST Unveils Groundbreaking Technology to Nearly Fully Decompose Nitrous Oxide at Room Temperature

Abstract Nitrous oxide (N2O) is one of the top three greenhouse gases, together with carbon dioxide and methane, but it is stable enough not to be easily decomposed under thermocatalytic conditions, even at high temperature (445 °C). Herein... Read More

Achieving Volatile Potassium Promoted Ammonia Synthesis via Mechanochemistry

Their findings have been published in the April 2023 issue of Nature Communications

Achieving Volatile Potassium Promoted Ammonia Synthesis via Mechanochemistry

Abstract Potassium oxide (K2O) is used as a promotor in industrial ammonia synthesis, although metallic potassium (K) is better in theory. The reason K2O is used is because metallic K, which volatilizes around 400 °C, separates from the cat... Read More
