Let’s take a closer look at our next #scienceglossary term for the research field #energy: “#catalysis". #Catalysts can be metals, chemical compounds, or enzymes — they speed up reactions without being used up: http://go.tum.de/917142

When the current method for producing something is estimated to consume a staggering 1–2% of the annual global energy supply, it means we need to make a change. The Haber-Bosch process produces ample amounts of ammonia (NH3)—a valuable chemical compound that has a wide array of uses in fields such as agriculture, technology, and pharmaceuticals—while consuming a lot of energy.

Scientists have for the first time filmed the real-time growth and contraction of Palladium nanoparticles, opening new avenues for utilising and recycling precious metal catalysts.
🗓️ Our colleague Franziska Winter will give a lecture at the “Jahrestreffen Deutscher Katalytiker” in Weimar on March 12: In the session “Hydrogen Generation and Use”, she will take a look at #ammonia decomposition – in both conventional and directly electrically heated (ohmic) reactors. She is dealing with the development of electrically conductive cobalt-carbon #catalysts for use in ohmic reactors as well as the role of promoters for stability and catalytic activity.
