Highly efficient ammonia synthesis at room temperature, with the highest yield ever reported, was just achieved. The small-scale ammonia production under mild conditions was accomplished by applying a direct current electric field to the Ru-Cs catalyst. Collecting highly pure ammonia as compressed liquid becomes possible using this method, and this finding will lead to developing on-demand ammonia production plants that run on renewable energy in the near future.
