Abstract: Ammonia is a fundamental chemical commodity for fertilizers and as a novel energy vector. Solar-driven ammonia synthesis is proposed as a sustainable alternative to the catalytic energy-intensive and CO2-emitting Haber-Bosch process. The considered thermochemical process aims to produce ammonia from nitrogen and water (N2 + 3H2O → 2NH3 + 1.5O2) via redox cycles using a solar heat source, thus bypassing …
