摘要

Ammonia (NH3) is not only an essential chemical feedstock for the manufacture of nitrogen-rich fertilizers but also a promising carbon-free energy carrier for storing H2 due to its high content of hydrogen (17.6％ by mass).At present,industrial NH3 is still dominantly produced by the traditional Haber-Bosch process,which reduces nitrogen (N2) to NH3 (N2+3H2-2NH3) at high temperatures (350-550 ℃) and high pressures (150-350 atm) [1].
