During the last century, inorganic oxide compounds laid foundations for materials synthesis,
characterization, and technology translation by adding new functions into devices previously …

Optimizing kinetic barriers of ammonia synthesis to reduce the energy intensity has recently
attracted significant research interest. The motivation for the research is to discover means …

The problem of activating N2 and its subsequent hydrogenation to form NH3 has been
approached from many directions. One of these approaches involves the use of transition …

In this review we describe recent advances in transition metal oxyhydride chemistry
obtained by topochemical routes, such as low temperature reduction with metal hydrides, or …

Ammonia is an attractive energy carrier for the hydrogen economy, given its high hydrogen
density and ease of liquefaction. A titanate oxyhydride has recently been demonstrated that …

Stable metal nitrides (MN) are promising materials to fit the future “green” ammonia–
hydrogen nexus. Either through catalysis or chemical looping, the reductive hydrogenation …

Most solid-state materials are composed of p-block anions, only in recent years the
introduction of hydride anions (1s2) in oxides (eg, SrVO2H, BaTi (O, H) 3) has allowed the …

Summary Artificial ammonia synthesis (Haber-Bosch process) is a prototypical exothermic
reaction of maximum catalytic yield restricted by the unbreakable equilibrium law. This is …

Diamond‐type silicon has a work function of≈ 4.8 eV, and conventional n‐or p‐type doping
modifies the value only between 4.6 and 5.05 eV. Here, it is shown that the alkali clathrates …

The control of solid state reaction pathways will enable the design and discovery of new
functional inorganic materials. A range of synthetic approaches have been used to shift solid …
