    A Japanese research team has recently invented a new method of efficiently synthesizing ammonia at room temperature and pressure using nitrogen and water, which is expected to be used in the production of related fertilizers in the future
    .
    According to reports, ammonia is a compound required for the production of chemical fertilizers.
    Traditional industrial synthesis of ammonia requires nitrogen and hydrogen, requires high temperature and high pressure reaction conditions, and consumes energy such as natural gas
    .
    The industry has always hoped to develop a new method of using water instead of hydrogen to synthesize ammonia under mild reaction conditions
    .
    The University of Tokyo research team recently reported in the online edition of the British journal Nature that they have developed a molybdenum catalyst.
    Using this catalyst and the reducing agent samarium iodide, it can efficiently synthesize ammonia from nitrogen and water at room temperature and pressure
    .
    The researchers said that this ammonia synthesis reaction has high activity and reaction speed, and they are jointly carrying out practical research with enterprises, hoping that the research results can provide a new method for a new generation of energy-saving and environmentally-friendly ammonia synthesis
