A surface electrene, BaSiN2:O, developed by researchers at Science Tokyo enables efficient ammonia synthesis under mild conditions while overcoming the long-standing air instability of electrene materials. Synthesized by doping barium silicon nitride with oxygen, the material forms a stable layer of freely floating electrons on its surface.
