This project aims to achieve a highly active electrochemical catalytic system for ammonia production from atmospheric nitrogen under ambient conditions. Ammonia is essential for plant growth and food production but its synthesis is energy intensive, eco-destructive and costly. The project will design a functional device featuring a catalyst that will not only provide insights into the fundamentals of nitrogen reduction but also a sustainable and cost effective production of ammonia, a potential key to future world food supply and renewable energy.

该项目旨在实现一种高活性电化学催化系统，用于在环境条件下从大气氮生产氨。氨对于植物生长和粮食生产至关重要，但其合成过程需要消耗大量能源、破坏生态且成本高昂。该项目将设计一种具有催化剂的功能装置，不仅可以深入了解氮还原的基本原理，而且可以可持续且具有成本效益地生产氨，这是未来世界粮食供应和可再生能源的潜在关键。
