### AI overview

MIT researchers developed an approach to predict promising catalyst materials for electrochemical ammonia production. The method could speed the search for alloys that may help make this lower-emissions process more competitive with the fossil-fuel-dependent Haber-Bosch process.

### Source excerpt

New MIT research could lead to better materials for a fossil-fuel-free process for making the chemical that's essential to fertilizer and other products.
