The most effective method to reduce carbon emission in a blst furnace is to use hydrogen, substituting coke, to reduce iron ore. However, the mechanism as well as kinetics of iron ore reduction by hydrogen is still not understood clearly that hinder the use of hydrogen in practice. We thus construction an in-situ chamber to faciliate synchrotron X-ray analyses under high temperature and hydrogen environment simultaneously. Result is of great help to control parameters of a blast furnace and reduce carbon emission by using hydrogen successfully.

This study develops highly active MoS2 nanoflowers with sulfur vacancies as piezocatalysts. Utilizing mechanical energy, it reduces N2 to NH3 (8294.1 μmol L-1 g-1 h-1) in an atmospheric environmentwithout needing an external light source or electricity. The method enhances piezoelectric properties and nitrogen reduction, offering high selectivity similar to electro- and photocatalysis, without the complexity of electrode/electrolyte systems, providing a new green NH3 production alternative.
