Abstract

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.
