Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Ammonia (NH 3 ) is the most crucial industrial chemical feedstock for producing fertilizers and is a promising future hydrogen carrier.Recent research has spurred for the development of alternative green and sustainable ammonia production technologies.Cold plasma technology provides a clean, sustainable method for nitrogen (N 2 ) conversion into active species for ammonia synthesis.Synergistic action of cold plasma and catalyst has significantly improved the current production rate and selectivity.Present energy consumption (2.1 MJ mol N -1 ) for N 2 fixation via plasma-assisted technology is still higher than the commercial process (0.7 MJ mol N -1 ), while a further improvement would be game-changing.In this review, we explain the takeover by plasma-assisted technology and its potential for green and sustainable ammonia production.We briefly present that the major challenge in nitrogen fixation of N 2 to NO 𝑥 as an intermediate pathway, can be addressed by plasma technology via NO 𝑥 transformation into targeted NH 3 product.We discussed the emerging plasma and catalysis synergism, mechanisms involved and highlighted current research development in selective ammonia generation.Finally, we outlined the ways to achieve cleaner and sustainable ammonia production and challenges in future work.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
