Continuous synthesis of ammonia

Direct synthesis of ammonia from air and water under ambient conditions is highly attractive for the research community and industries. The dynamic interplay between the fields of Li-NRR, Ca-NRR, and new NRR reactors holds promise for the continuous synthesis of ammonia and might help to solve the global energy crisis. Although the progress of Li-NRR, Ca-NRR, and NO3RR reactions has been proven feasible for electrochemical ammonia synthesis, many challenges, such as high cell voltage, high ohmic resistance and mass transport limitations, remain for NRR systems. More theoretical models and in situ/operando experiments need to be conducted to understand the reaction mechanism, which will shed light on the rational design of the NRR system.
