Understanding the Factors Determining the Faradaic Efficiency and Rate of the Lithium Redox-Mediated N2 Reduction to Ammonia

Pavel Cherepanov et al.

Summary: The study investigated the effects of parameters such as electrode potential, convection, N-2 pressure, and water content on the electrochemical production of ammonia. Results showed that a closely linear ammonia yield and approximately constant faradaic efficiency can be maintained during experiments lasting up to 60 hours. Improved control of reaction conditions led to ammonia yield rates above 1 nmol s(-1) cm(-2) and faradaic efficiencies as high as 60%.

Nitrogen reduction to ammonia at high efficiency and rates based on a phosphonium proton shuttle

Bryan H. R. Suryanto et al.

Summary: Ammonia (NH3) is a globally important commodity for fertilizer production, but its synthesis by the Haber-Bosch process causes substantial emissions of carbon dioxide. Alternative methods being explored include the promising electrochemical lithium-mediated nitrogen reduction reaction, which has required sacrificial sources of protons. In this study, a phosphonium salt is introduced as a proton shuttle to help resolve this limitation, resulting in high NH3 production rates and demonstrated continuous operation for more than 3 days.
