Published at Royal Society of Chemistry – Thermochemical production of ammonia via a two-step metal nitride cycle – materials screening and the strontium-based system

Abstract Ammonia synthesis via the catalytic Haber–Bosch process is characterized by its high pressures and low single-pass conversions, as well as by the energy-intensive production of the precursors H2 and N2 and their concomitant greenhouse gas emissions. Alternatively, thermochemical cycles based on metal nitrides stand as a promising pathway to green ammonia production because they …
