My research focuses on ammonia synthesis from N2 in the air and water using renewable energy for sustainable and practical artificial fertilizer and fuel. Ammonia is an indispensable starting material for the production of fertilizer. More convenient and lower-cost synthesis methods can supply ammonia as a cheap fertilizer, with the potential to improve food security in developing countries. Moreover, ammonia is liquidized under ~10 atm and has a high energy density. If ammonia can be synthesized by sustainable energy, ammonia can store and transport energy, which will address problems related to energy supply. I will contribute to this challenge and hope to realize its potential for society in the near future.
