A carbon cathode for lithium mediated electrochemical ammonia synthesis
To introduce the potential for tuneability of the cathode in lithium mediated ammonia synthesis, we report a carbon cathode which produces ammonia at a faradaic efficiency of 37%. This provides a basis to optimise properties of carbon electrodes to achieve high current densities and faradaic efficiencies.
