Abstract
Over 70 years after the Miller–Urey experiment, synthesizing amino acids from inorganic molecules still faces low selectivity and poor yield. This study uses solution plasma to synthesize amino acids from CH4–NH3–H2, achieving a yield of 341.0 μg L−1 and a serine-to-glycine ratio of 144.5%, the highest reported for clean synthesis.
