Researchers achieve high-rate and stable ammonia electrosynthesis from nitrate

Ammonia (NH3) is traditionally produced through the energy-intensive Haber-Bosch process which converts nitrogen (N2) and hydrogen (H2) into NH3 at high temperatures (400–500℃) and pressures (10–30 MPa). This process consumes 1%–2% of global energy and contributes about 1% of global CO2 emissions.
