Recent Advances in Ammonia Synthesis Modeling and Experiments on Metal Nitrides and Other Catalytic Surfaces

Abstract

In this review, we explore the recent progress in catalytic materials for the ammonia syntheses that are based on metal nitrides and other catalytic surfaces. It comprises a detailed overlook of the various techniques used in ammonia synthesis research and the state-of-the-art modeling techniques employed to investigate new reaction mechanisms and more efficient processes for sustainable ammonia synthesis production. The review is discussed in the context of the reaction mechanisms developed and the recent progress that has been made with respect to thermal, electrochemical, and photocatalytic ammonia synthesis.
