Abstract
Plasma ammonia synthesis driven by renewable electrical energy has the advantage of being cleaner and more distributed than the traditional Haber–Bosch process, which offers greater flexibility in material selection and process innovation for nitrogen fixation due to the unique catalytic environment. Inspired by the classical Mars and Van Krevelen (MvK) mechanism, we present a plasma-assisted lattice nitrogen ammonia synthesis strategy based on oxynitride perovskites, which improves the efficiency of utilizing plasma-excited species. It enables separated plasma hydrogenation and lattice nitrogen replenishment processes, achieving the highest rate (7087 μmol gcat−1 h−1) of plasma ammonia synthesis to date. This strategy greatly extends the application range of the plasma tandem ammonia synthesis process and provides new ideas for the design of plasma-catalyzed conversion systems.
期刊介绍:
Green Chemistry is a journal that provides a unique forum for the publication of innovative research on the development of alternative green and sustainable technologies. The scope of Green Chemistry is based on the definition proposed by Anastas and Warner (Green Chemistry: Theory and Practice, P T Anastas and J C Warner, Oxford University Press, Oxford, 1998), which defines green chemistry as the utilisation of a set of principles that reduces or eliminates the use or generation of hazardous substances in the design, manufacture and application of chemical products. Green Chemistry aims to reduce the environmental impact of the chemical enterprise by developing a technology base that is inherently non-toxic to living things and the environment. The journal welcomes submissions on all aspects of research relating to this endeavor and publishes original and significant cutting-edge research that is likely to be of wide general appeal. For a work to be published, it must present a significant advance in green chemistry, including a comparison with existing methods and a demonstration of advantages over those methods.
