Strategies toward Selective Electrochemical Ammonia Synthesis
Abstract
The active and selective electroreduction of atmospheric nitrogen (N 2 ) to ammonia (NH 3 ) using energy from solar or wind sources at the point of use would enable a sustainable alternative to the Haber–Bosch process for fertilizer production. While the process is thermodynamically possible, experimental attempts thus far have required large overpotentials and have produced primarily hydrogen (H 2 ). In this Perspective, we show how insights from electronic structure calculations of the energetics of the process, combined with mean-field microkinetic modeling, can be used to (1) understand the activity and selectivity challenges in electrochemical NH 3 synthesis and (2) propose alternative strategies toward an economically viable process. In particular, we develop the theoretical understanding for two promising actionable avenues that are gaining interest in the experimental literature, (1) circumventing the scaling relations between adsorbed surface intermediates and (2) using nonaqueous electrolytes to suppress the competing hydrogen evolution reaction.

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.
