Electrochemical Ammonia Synthesis - The Selectivity Challenge. Singh, A. R., Rohr, B. A., Schwalbe, J. A., Cargnello, M., Chan, K., Jaramillo, T. F., Chorkendorff, I., & Nørskov, J. K. ACS Catalysis, 7:706-709, 2017. doi abstract bibtex It is notoriously difficult to electrochemically reduce N 2 at ambient conditions. With such a process, one could use renewable electricity to make ammonia (NH 3) for fertilizers efficiently at the point of use, or use the NH 3 as a carbon-free hydrogen vector. From a thermodynamic perspective, electrochemical reduction is possible, but most attempts primarily produce hydrogen (H 2) and very little NH 3 . We present a simple qualitative analysis to identify the origin of the problem. The analysis also points to strategies that may be employed to increase the NH 3 selectivity substantially.
