摘要:
氨是化肥、涂料等领域中重要的化工原料,是产量第二高的商用化学品。目前,90%以上的氨均来自Haber-Bosch法,该工艺需要高温、高压条件,能耗较高,且依赖化石燃料的使用,产生大量CO2排放,在倡导节能环保的新时代下,该工艺面临严重的能耗及环保问题。电催化氮还原合成氨工艺是一种采用电能驱动的节能工艺,且原料为绿色环保的H2O和N2,其有望替代传统合成氨工艺。但是目前该工艺存在一些技术难点有待突破,使其产氨速率、法拉第效率等性能不高,距离商用化生产差距较大。分析总结了该工艺的技术难点,围绕该领域的优化策略,重点综述了针对合成氨电化学系统的改进措施,以及近几年文献报道的研究进展,最后对该领域的未来发展进行展望。
