Researchers have developed a material to remove urea from water and potentially convert it into hydrogen gas. By building these materials of nickel and cobalt atoms with carefully tailored electronic ...

Converting both nitrogen (N 2) and carbon dioxide (CO 2) into value-added urea molecules via C-N coupling reaction is a promising method to solve the problem of excessive CO 2 emissions. Compared with ...

Synthetic nitrogen fertilizers such as urea help feed about half of the world’s population. But making urea is a multistep endeavor that consumes copious amounts of energy and emits large amounts of ...

UNSW engineers have tackled a longstanding problem at the heart of global agriculture: how to make urea for fertilizer ...

Researchers at UNSW Sydney have developed a method that converts carbon dioxide emissions and nitrogen pollutants into urea fertilizer, bypassing the energy-intensive ammonia step that conventional ...

You might be flushing the answer to sustainable energy down the toilet. Urea is a naturally abundant, safer, and practical option for fuels. Besides, urea splitting can achieve energy-saving hydrogen ...
