Molybdenum-Based Nitrogen-Fixing Nanozyme

Molybdenum-Based Nitrogen-Fixing Nanozyme is the world’s first biomimetic nitrogen fixation material originally developed by the Zhongyuan Nanozyme Laboratory (led by Academician Yan Xiyun). It mimics the active center structure of the FeMo cofactor in natural nitrogenase, breaking the technical bottleneck of the traditional Haber-Bosch process which requires high temperature and high pressure. It can directly convert atmospheric nitrogen and water into ammonia at ambient temperature and pressure.

The product with an average particle size of 302.7nm and optimal in vitro nitrogen fixation activity of 5.32±1.00mM (1mg/mL). Compared with natural nitrogenase, it has higher stability, lower cost, easier storage and wider environmental adaptability. Compared with industrial nitrogen fixation, it reduces energy consumption by over 99% with no CO₂ emissions.

The product can be applied via foliar spraying, soil application or seed coating, fully compatible with existing fertilization systems. It significantly reduces chemical nitrogen fertilizer usage, decreases agricultural non-point source pollution and carbon emissions, while improving crop yield and quality. Laboratory validation and in vivo nitrogen fixation tests on Nicotiana benthamiana have been completed. Field trials are ongoing globally. Lab-grade samples and pilot-scale batches are available, supporting fertilizer formulation customization and joint R&D.

Key Advantages

1.Global Original Biomimetic Technology: The world’s first nanozyme product that successfully mimics natural nitrogenase activity, with fully independent intellectual property rights and patents covering major global agricultural markets.

2.Efficient Nitrogen Fixation at Ambient Conditions: Synthesizes ammonia directly from air and water without high temperature and pressure, consuming only 1% of the energy of the Haber-Bosch process with zero carbon emissions.

3.Significantly Reduces Nitrogen Fertilizer Dependence: Replaces over 30% of chemical nitrogen fertilizers, reducing agricultural production costs by 30%-40% and decreasing soil acidification and water eutrophication.

4.Broad Crop Applicability: Suitable for all crops including wheat, corn, rice, soybeans, vegetables and fruits, compatible with all conventional fertilization methods.

5.Excellent Stability and Storability: Nanomaterial properties, resistant to acid and alkali (pH2-12) and high temperature (stable below 80℃). convenient for long-distance transportation and storage.6.Safe, Eco-Friendly and Residue-Free: Composed of natural mineral elements, no by-products in reaction, naturally degradable in soil, non-toxic to crops, soil, humans and animals.
