Sustainable ammonia synthesis through electrochemical dinitrogen activation using an Ag2VO2PO4 catalyst

Abstract

An Ag2VO2PO4 catalyst synthesized via sonochemical route exhibits a nano rice-grain like morphology and presents electrochemical N2 activation at −0.2 V with a high NH3 yield rate of 1.48 mg h−1 mgcat.−1 and a F.E. of 37.46% in alkaline solution.
