SUMMARY:Towards Metal-Free Electrocatalysts for the Reduction of Dinitrogen
  to Ammonia

Description:Literature Seminar\nMy literature seminar will investigate rece
 nt advances in the field of metal-free catalysts for the reduction of dini
 trogen to ammonia. Ammonia is a critical component of fertilizers\, and is
  not produced naturally in large quantities. The nitrogen reduction reacti
 on is one of the most important industrial chemical processes\, as it enab
 les the mass production of ammonia which currently sustains the food suppl
 y of more than 50% of the worlds population. Due to the intense energy req
 uirements of the current industrial processes\, new generation catalysts c
 apable of ambient nitrogen reduction are highly sought after. The Sun grou
 p has recently published work detailing the first example of ambient nitro
 gen reduction by boron phosphide nanoparticles. Using experimental and com
 putational evidence\, the group asserts that phosphorus plays an integral 
 role in boosting the catalytic activity of the boron. 4:00 pm
