Abstract

Energy decarbonization is promising to significantly reduce CO<sub>2</sub> emissions in our energy structure. Ammonia (NH<sub>3</sub>), as a carbon-free energy carrier, plays an important role in energy decarbonization. It is necessary to develop efficient catalytic processes of NH<sub>3</sub> synthesis and utilization, to diminish CO<sub>2</sub> emissions and utilize renewable energies. In this Perspective, we evaluate advantages and drawbacks of NH<sub>3</sub> synthesis via thermocatalysis, electrocatalysis and photocatalysis, and NH<sub>3</sub> utilization by catalytic decomposition, fuel cells and combustion. We expect that it can accelerate the development of artificial nitrogen cycle for energy decarbonization.
