Researchers develop first iron-based catalyst that can reduce dinitrogen to ammonia in a solution

(Phys.org) —A trio of researchers at California Institute of Technology has developed an iron-based catalyst that allows for reducing dinitrogen (a normal nitrogen molecule with two atoms) to ammonia in a solution. In their paper published in the journal Nature, John Anderson, Jonathan Rittle and Jonas Peters describe the technique they developed that allows for converting nitrogen to ammonia using iron as a basis for a catalyst.
