In a major step toward sustainable chemistry, scientists have uncovered a new way to significantly boost the electrochemical reduction of nitrate to ammonia through the in-situ evolution of electrocatalysts. This breakthrough provides a cleaner alternative to the traditional ammonia synthesis process and a solution to the critical issue of nitrate pollution in water systems.

Scientists Use SDSC’s Expanse to Advance Green Chemistry
Computational chemists reduce or eliminate hazardous materials by running simulations to develop fast, accurate models. MIT researchers use SDSC’s supercomputer to explore the luminescent properties of iridium-centered phosphors.
A greener route to blue – a new method drastically reduces the amount of solvent needed to produce widely used organic dyes
Phthalocyanines dyes can be produced with solid-state synthesis instead of high- boiling organic solvents.
Eco-glue can replace harmful adhesives in wood construction
Researchers at Aalto University have developed a bio-based adhesive that can replace formaldehyde-containing adhesives in wood construction.
Scientists uncover surprising behavior of a fatty acid enzyme with potential biofuel applications
Although many organisms capture and respond to sunlight, enzymes – proteins that catalyze biochemical reactions – are rarely driven by light. A new study captures the full cycle of complex structural changes in an light-driven enzyme called FAP as it transforms a fatty acid into alkanes or alkenes.
Making cleaner, greener plastics from waste fish parts
Derived from crude oil, toxic to synthesize, and slow to degrade, polyurethanes are not environmentally friendly. Today, researchers discuss a safer, biodegradable alternative derived from fish waste that would otherwise likely be discarded. They will present their results at ACS Spring 2021.
