Description

Electrocatalytic green ammonia synthesis using reactive dinitrogen. This project aims to advance electrochemical nitrogen reduction reaction for green ammonia production using renewable electricity, water, and reactive dinitrogen feedstock. The project expects to generate new knowledge in catalysis using advanced in-situ spectroscopies and real-time electrochemical analysis, high-throughput catalyst screening, in-situ imaging, and multiphysics modelling. Expected outcomes include new structure-activity relationships and novel catalyst and reactor designs with breakthrough in energy efficiency for green ammonia production. This will enable a transformative way for green hydrogen storage and transport, providing significant benefits for Australia’s net zero targets, sustainable manufacturing, and exports.. Scheme: ARC Future Fellowships. Field: 4004 - Chemical Engineering. Lead: A/Prof Fengwang Li
