Why can't we just reverse the Haber-Bosch process?

In the latest episode, I talk to Prof. Malte Behrens @SolidStateChemCatal_Kiel about ammonia as a possible hydrogen carrier.

We dive deep into the chemistry of ammonia cracking and explain why the classic iron catalyst loses its activity. Find out how alloying iron with cobalt might just be the solution to unlocking green energy transport via ammonia!

Hydrogen is key to green energy, but storing it safely is a huge challenge. What if we could store it using everyday baking soda? 🧪

In the newest episode of Innovate and React, I chat with Jonas Massa from AKROS Energy about their innovative, non-toxic salt solution for storing and transporting hydrogen. It is a game-changer for safe, decentralized energy! ⚡

Ever wonder how a walk in the woods can lead to a breakthrough in cancer treatment? 🌿🧪

In my latest episode of Innovate and React, I’m taking you back to the mid-20th century to explore the incredible world of natural products. I dive into how the National Cancer Institute began screening thousands of plant extracts to find hidden cures.

Wouldn’t it be amazing if we used small alkanes like methane for #chemistry instead of just burning them.
Processes like steamreforming go in the right direction however it’s not using the carbon.
In my latest #podcast episode of i talked to @AndresMacons about his work in which he made methane accessible through photocatalysis! Super interesting Chemistry!

In the latest episode of Innovate and React I talked to Muhammad Usama, researcher at UDE, about a new mechanism for the oxygen evolution reaction in water #electrolysis. To understand the reaction mechanism lays the foundation for future #catalyst improvements and thus more efficient electrolysis.

There is a lot of progress in research for #hydrogen technologies and i am looking forward to the achievements in the next years!

Shipping #emissions are a big deal when it comes to marine ecosystems near the coast.
The project #LNGzero aims to reduce these emissions in different ways.

In the latest episode we discuss how bimetallic #catalyst can help in water treatment of scrubbing water to remove nitrates and nitrites.
