Ammonia contamination artifact in electrochemical nitrogen reduction

The ammonia contamination artifact in electrochemical nitrogen reduction is the false detection of ammonia from sources like air and labware, which can exceed true catalytic yields.

Ammonia decomposition

Ammonia cracking is the catalytic decomposition of ammonia into nitrogen and hydrogen, used to recover hydrogen from ammonia that has been stored or shipped as a hydrogen carrier.

Ammonia fuel

Ammonia fuel is the use of ammonia, a carbon-free compound of nitrogen and hydrogen, burned directly, fed to fuel cells, or cracked to release hydrogen, with shipping as its leading early market.

Ammonia oxidation

Ammonia oxidation is the catalytic burning of ammonia to nitric oxide over platinum gauzes, the first step of the Ostwald process for making nitric acid.

Ammonia production

Ammonia production is the industrial manufacture of ammonia (NH3), chiefly via the Haber-Bosch process reacting nitrogen with hydrogen from natural gas or coal, mostly for fertilizers.

Ammonia SOFC

An ammonia SOFC is a solid oxide fuel cell that uses ammonia as its fuel, splitting it into hydrogen inside the hot anode for carbon-free electricity generation.

Ammonia solution

Ammonia solution, also known as ammonium hydroxide or aqueous ammonia, is ammonia gas dissolved in water: a colorless, alkaline liquid ranging from household cleaners to industrial reagents.

Ammonia-oxidizing archaea

Ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) are Thaumarchaeota microbes that obtain energy by oxidizing ammonia to nitrite, dominating nitrification in oceans, soils, and sediments and producing most marine nitrous oxide.

Ammonite (film)

Ammonite is Francis Lee's 2020 British romantic drama starring Kate Winslet as fossil hunter Mary Anning and Saoirse Ronan as Charlotte Murchison, a fictional 1840s Lyme Regis romance premiered at TIFF 2020.

Ammonite inscriptions
