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.

Let’s take a closer look at our next #scienceglossary term for the research field #energy: “#catalysis". #Catalysts can be metals, chemical compounds, or enzymes — they speed up reactions without being used up: http://go.tum.de/917142

👋 Hello #mastodon!

Quite exactly for our 5️⃣ th group anniversary in Kiel, we finally start to dive into social media.

⚗️ We are a research group in #InorganicChemistry and #Catalysis at @kieluni and excited to share our results here with the public and with other scientists and to give an impression of our work!

🔬 As a short #introduction, we work a the crossroads of solid-state chemistry and heterogeneous catalysis and aim to develop and understand new catalytic materials for sustainable chemical processes, such as carbon dioxide utilization in a green hydrogen economy.

😀 We are looking forward to reaching out to you!

Meet our Managing Editor Dr. Marc Kielmann at the 11th Pacific Symposium on Radical Chemistry (PSCR-11) in Seoul 🇰🇷, 📅 June 15–19, 2025!

💬 Don’t hesitate to say “Hi” or chat with Marc at the symposium.
