J-WAFS PI Karthish Manthiram has devised a way to electrochemically produce ammonia from nothing more than air and water

The ammonia synthesizing device built by the Mathiram Lab research team

A team of MIT chemical engineers, led by Karthish Manthiram are breaking ground in ammonia synthesis technologies. Their work, featured in The Chemical Engineer, could reduce emissions associated with producing ammonia and enable decentralized-production for farmers in remote areas. Read more here.
