This project aims to develop a hybrid ionic liquid-nanostructured electrode platform to electrochemically convert nitrogen gas to ammonia. Ammonia production, mostly for fertilisers, consumes more than 1% of the global energy supply and contributes 1.6 % of global carbon dioxide emissions. A process that could convert nitrogen to ammonia using renewable energy would be an important alternative approach. This project will develop a platform for electrochemical conversion of nitrogen gas to ammonia and optimise it for use with surplus renewable energy supplies. The project is expected to contribute to mitigation of greenhouse emissions and create a technology for distributed production of ammonia and ammonium fertilisers.

本项目旨在开发一种混合离子液体-纳米结构电极平台，用于电化学将氮气转化为氨。氨的生产（主要用于化肥）消耗了全球1%以上的能源供应，占全球二氧化碳排放量的1.6%。利用可再生能源将氮转化为氨的过程将是一种重要的替代方法。该项目将开发一个将氮气电化学转化为氨的平台，并对其进行优化，以便与剩余的可再生能源供应一起使用。预计该项目将有助于减少温室气体排放，并创造一种分布式生产氨和铵肥料的技术。
