Multivariate Approaches Boosting Lithium-Mediated Ammonia Electrosynthesis in Different Electrolytes.

ABSTRACT: Ammonia electrosynthesis through the lithium-mediated approach has recently reached promising results towards high activity and selectivity in aprotic media, reaching high Faradaic efficiency (FE) values and NH₃ production rates. To fasten the comprehension and optimization of the complex lithium-mediated nitrogen reduction system, for the first time a multivariate approach is proposed as a powerful tool to reduce the number of experiments in comparison with the classical one-factor-at-a-time approach. Doehlert design and surface response methodology are employed to optimize the electrolyte composition for a batch autoclaved cell. The method is validated with the common LiBF₄ salt, and the correlations between the FE and the amount of lithium salt and ethanol as proto
