This project aims to realise the next generation of ammonia production under ambient conditions without hydrogen feedstock. Through a combination of theoretical molecular-level understanding and experimental materials engineering, a range of catalysts will be developed under a materials discovery scheme for electrochemical nitrogen reduction to ammonia. These new catalysts, featuring high activity, efficiency, selectivity, and stability, will facilitate an alternative artificial nitrogen fixation technology powered by renewable energies. This technology will enable the production of green fertilisers and provide renewable energy storage, which are key environmental and energy challenges that Australia and the world currently face.

该项目旨在实现在没有氢气原料的环境条件下生产下一代氨。通过理论分子水平的理解和实验材料工程的结合，将在一个材料发现计划下开发一系列催化剂，用于电化学氮气还原制氨。这些新型催化剂具有高活性、高效率、高选择性和稳定性，将促进可再生能源提供动力的替代人工固氮技术。这项技术将使绿色化肥的生产成为可能，并提供可再生能源储存，这是澳大利亚和世界目前面临的关键环境和能源挑战。
