Description

Energy efficient ammonia electrosynthesis. This project aims to develop an electrolytic technology for the production of ammonia from renewables with a significantly improved energy efficiency using first-of-a-kind electrode designs recently discovered at Monash University. New knowledge in sustainable technologies is expected to be produced by integrated experimental and modelling studies on previously unexplored materials for ammonia synthesis. The target outcome of the project is a sustainable ammonia synthesis method that can replace the current fossil-fuel-based process. The technology to be developed from these outcomes is expected to be of significant benefit to Australia as a source of low-cost fertilisers for agriculture and as a means of storage of renewable electricity.. Scheme: Discovery Projects. Field: 3406 - Physical Chemistry. Lead: A/Prof Alexandr Simonov
