Abstract
Ammonia electrosynthesis is the most sustainable way to produce carbon-free hydrogen carriers, which would pave the way for the foreseen hydrogen economy and carbon neutralization as it has the potential to replace the conventional Haber-Bosch process. The electrocatalytic production of ammonia, which renewable energy resources could drive, reduces the carbon footprint contribution to fossil fuel consumption. Moreover, ammonia electrosynthesis also paves the way for recycling industrial/chemical wastewater and NO emissions. Hence, the advancement of electrocatalytic ammonia synthesis techniques is highly mandated for a greener future. This review consolidates the recent research trends associated with carbon-based electrocatalysts, which could elevate this viable technology with cost-effectiveness.
氨电合成是生产无碳氢载体的最可持续的方法,这将为预期的氢经济和碳中和铺平道路,因为它有可能取代传统的哈伯-博施工艺。氨的电催化生产可以利用可再生能源,减少化石燃料消耗的碳足迹。此外,氨的电合成还为回收工业/化学废水和 NO 排放物铺平了道路。因此,为了实现更加绿色的未来,必须大力发展电催化氨合成技术。本文综述了与碳基电催化剂相关的最新研究趋势,这些研究可提高这项技术的可行性和成本效益。
