Stanford researchers at the Zare Lab, Department of Chemistry, have developed a simple and eco-friendly method that could potentially produce substantial amounts of ammonia and urea, both of which are primarily used in fertilizer.
Stanford researchers have designed a light-driven bimetallic alloyed plasmonic photocatalyst that can both effectively and selectively catalyze heterogenous hydrogenation.
Stanford researchers have constructed a microbial cell factory by genetically modifying the bacterium Methylomicrobium alcaliphilum 20Z to convert methanol and methane into para-hydroxybenzoic acid (p-HBA).
Researchers in Prof. Thomas Jaramillo's laboratory have developed an electrochemical method for local production of ammonia that simultaneously solves an environmental problem while also producing a valuable chemical product with a massive global market.
