Project summary
Ammonia (NH3) shows great potential as a next-generation energy carrier due to its high energy density and clean emissions. Nonetheless, the downside to the existing industrial ammonia synthesis, Haber-Bosch, is the high carbon dioxide emissions and tremendous amounts of energy usage. In this context, electrochemical NH3 synthesis from nitrate reduction (NO3-RR) has recently appeared to be a promising route. This project aims to develop high-efficiencyelectrocatalysts via a controllable synthetic procedure for ammonia production. The identification of electrocatalytic active sites and elucidation of the reaction mechanism of NO3-RR would be in-depth investigated in this project.
