The invention discloses a device and a method for generating
ammonia by
nitrogen. The device comprises a
working electrode compartment and a counter
electrode compartment, the
working electrode compartment is communicated with the counter
electrode compartment, a
proton conductive cation exchange membrane used for separation is arranged between the
working electrode compartment and the counter
electrode compartment, and the working electrode compartment is provided with a first working electrode and a second working electrode. The first working electrode and the second working electrode are arranged oppositely at an interval, the working electrode compartment is provided with a gas inlet and a gas outlet, reaction gas entering from the gas inlet can sequentially pass through the second working electrode and the first working electrode and then is discharged from the gas outlet, and the counter electrode compartment is provided with a counter electrode and a
reference electrode. Compared with a single working electrode, the porous material is added to serve as the second working electrode, and the better photoelectrochemical
nitrogen reduction
ammonia synthesis performance is shown.The auxiliary enhancement method can also be expanded to other photoelectrochemical reactions, especially multi-
electron and multi-step reactions with delayed reaction rates.
