One chemical reaction to feed them all: The synthesis of ammonia

In this episode of Innovate and React, I delve into the
groundbreaking discovery of the Haber-Bosch process, which
revolutionized agriculture and the chemical industry by
synthesizing ammonia from atmospheric nitrogen and hydrogen.
Starting with a historical perspective from the 19th, the episode
explores the pivotal contributions of Fritz Haber and Carl Bosch to
the invention of the Haber-Bosch process. It covers the scientific
challenges, innovations, and controversies surrounding Haber’s
research, and how Bosch made the reaction viable for industrial
scale. The episode also discusses the modern impact and future
applications of ammonia in renewable energy systems.
