A
lithium-mediated electrochemical method for
ammonia synthesis, relating to the field of
ammonia synthesis technology, solves the technical problems of severe side reactions, limited
nitrogen mass transfer, and poor interfacial stability in existing
lithium-mediated
ammonia synthesis systems.
Tetra(4-formylphenyl)
porphyrin iron and an amino-containing multifunctional organic ligand are added to a mixed
solvent of n-
butanol and o-
dichlorobenzene. An acid catalyst is added, and after stirring until homogeneous, the mixture is degassed and sealed for reaction. The
solid product is collected by
centrifugation, washed, and dried to obtain COF
powder. This
powder is then added to an
ethanol-water solution, followed by
ultrasonic dispersion with
Nafion solution. The
powder is then drop-coated / sprayed onto the surface of a
carbon paper current collector and dried. This powder is used as the
working electrode, with a
platinum mesh as the counter
electrode, a
platinum wire as the quasi-
reference electrode, and a LiBF4
tetrahydrofuran solution as the
electrolyte.
Ethanol is used as the
proton donor, and
electrolysis is performed under a
nitrogen atmosphere using a
constant current. This invention can be applied to the field of ammonia synthesis technology.
