The manufacture of ammonia is a technologically well developed field. The application of mechanochemistry for the preparation of ammonia has been realized over the past few years and may offer new opportunities for consideration. Here we highlight and describe some of those examples.

Abstract

The design and use of organic, inorganic, and metal-based catalysts is critical to academic and industrial laboratories all around the world. In this framework, ammonia production embodies the most iconic use of catalysis. This review aims to describe the most recent and exciting developments in the mechanocatalytic preparation of ammonia.
