Japan team reports pathway to green ammonia: photocatalytic conversion of nitrogen with water
Green Car Congress
JULY 30, 2017
Researchers in Japan report that a commercially available TiO 2 with a large number of surface oxygen vacancies, when photo-irradiated by UV light in pure water with nitrogen—successfully produces ammonia (NH 3 ). The solar-to-chemical energy conversion efficiency is 0.02%, which is the highest efficiency among the early reported photocatalytic systems.
