All Metal-Organic Framework-Based Architecture for Efficient Electrocatalytic Ammonia Production

Project description

Nitrogen reduction reaction for achieving sustainable ammonia synthesis

Ammonia is an important chemical for producing fertilisers. Electrocatalytic nitrogen reduction reaction (NRR) is attracting attention as a promising alternative for achieving green and sustainable ammonia synthesis. With this in mind, the EU-funded MOFAmmonia project will explore how NRR can fulfil its potential role in the world’s energy economy landscape. Specifically, it will combine materials science, electrocatalysis and photo-electrochemistry to develop a new concept to combine the virtues of both pristine and converted metal–organic framework (MOF)-based materials. For instance, the team will develop new, controllable synthetic pathways for the conversion of MOFs into porous, highly active NRR electrocatalysts, with tuned chemical composition, electronic and catalytic properties.
