Magnetic field during catalyst synthesis triples ammonia yield
A magnetic field applied during the synthesis of CoFe2O4 electrocatalysts increases ammonia yield by three times by modifying surface states and enhancing access to active sites. Researchers from HZB and the University of Cologne report this finding in Advanced Functional Materials, highlighting a scalable method for improving electrocatalysts used in sustainable chemical production.
Scientists used a magnetic field during catalyst production, increasing ammonia output by three times.
This improvement could make ammonia production more efficient, supporting sustainable chemical processes.
The discovery offers a practical, scalable solution that benefits both industry and the environment.
