Electrochemical ammonia synthesis: Mechanistic understanding and catalyst design
Open accessAbstract
Summary NH3 production is dependent on the century-old Haber-Bosch process, which is energy and capital intensive and relies on H2 from steam reforming, hence, contributing to greenhouse gas emissions. Electrochemical NH3 synthesis can be realized by reaction of N2 and a proton source under mild conditions powered by renewable electricity, which offers a promising carbon-neutral and sustainable strategy. However, N2 has remarkable thermodynamic stability and requires high energy to be activated. Implementation of this “clean” NH3 synthesis route therefore still requires significant enhancement in energy efficiency, conversion rate, and durability, which is only achievable through the design of efficient electrocatalysts. This article provides a timely theoretical and experimental overview of recent advances in the electrocatalytic conversion of N2 to NH3 underlining the development of novel electrocatalysts. Advances of in situ and operando studies for mechanistic understanding of the reaction and the main challenges and strategies for improving electrocatalytic N2 reduction are highlighted.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
