<p>Among the many chemicals we use every day, ammonia is one of the worst for the atmosphere. The nitrogen-based chemical&nbsp;used in fertilizer, dyes, explosives and many other products ranks second only to cement in terms of carbon emissions, due to the high temperatures and energy needed to manufacture it.&nbsp;But by improving on a well-known electrochemical reaction and orchestrating a &ldquo;symphony&rdquo; of lithium, nitrogen and hydrogen atoms, University of Illinois Chicago engineers led by&nbsp;<a href="https://che.uic.edu/profiles/meenesh-r-singh/">Meenesh Singh</a><strong>&nbsp;</strong>have developed a new ammonia production processthat meets several green targets.&nbsp;</p>
