An Adiabatic-Expansion-Induced Perturbation Study on Gas–Aerosol Partitioning in Ambient Air—Formation of NH₄NO₃ and Microdroplet Nitrogen Fixation (2) by Yating Gao, Qinchu Fan, Yujiao Zhu, Hengqing Shen, Qi Yuan, Yang Gao, Huiwang Gao, Xiaohong Yao

“…Our results indicate the adiabatic-expansion-induced generation of NH₃ + HNO₃ at ultrafast formation rates, with campaign-dependent stable stoichiometric ratios of HNO₃ to NH₃, as well as highly variable occurrence frequencies and efficiencies. These findings suggest that microdroplet redox reactions are more likely responsible for the generation of NH₃ + HNO₃ than conventional atmospheric NH₃ chemistry. …”
