Why can't we just reverse the Haber-Bosch process?

In the latest episode, I talk to Prof. Malte Behrens @SolidStateChemCatal_Kiel about ammonia as a possible hydrogen carrier.

We dive deep into the chemistry of ammonia cracking and explain why the classic iron catalyst loses its activity. Find out how alloying iron with cobalt might just be the solution to unlocking green energy transport via ammonia!

As an organic chemist, should you specialize in synthesis method development or total synthesis?

In his inspiring talk at #Lunteren2026, Alois Fürstner from the Max-Planck-Institut für Kohlenforschung shows how his group is excelling at both and makes the point that there is important cross-fertilization between the two research directions in his group.

🧂 Like adding spices to a meal, adding promoters to a solid catalyst can have a very important effect on the final result. Yet, the fundamentals of the interplay of active metals and promoters often remain unknown.

🔬 We have investigated the Ga-promotion of Cu particles for methanol synthesis from carbon dioxide and hydrogen and found a complex dynamic alloying and de-alloying under working conditions.

Congratulations to Dr. Jairo Sebastián Martínez Vivas, who successfully defended his PhD thesis “Stimuli-responsive NHC-based pincer complexes for catalysis” last Friday.

His research at the Institute of Advanced Materials (INAM) focuses on stimuli-responsive pincer complexes for the reversible control of catalytic activity, opening new perspectives in catalyst design.
