Photocatalytic NH 3 Synthesis by Defect–Engineered Photocatalytic Materials

The synthesis of ammonia (NH 3 ) through photocatalytic processes using defect-engineered photocatalytic materials has gained significant attention in recent years. Defect-engineered photocatalytic materials offer unique opportunities to enhance the performance of photocatalysis for NH 3 synthesis. This chapter will explore examples of defect-engineered photocatalytic materials for NH 3 synthesis and examine their advantages and challenges. By understanding the role of defects in enhancing the performance of photocatalysts, researchers can develop strategies for optimizing NH 3 synthesis processes, including improving the reaction rates, selectivity, and overall energy efficiency. In conclusion, defect-engineered photocatalytic materials present a promising avenue for NH 3 synthesis through photocatalytic processes. The manipulation of defects in photocatalysts can significantly influence their performance, offering opportunities to overcome the limitations associated with traditional NH 3 production methods. This chapter aims to provide an overview of defect-engineered photocatalytic materials for NH 3 production, highlighting their potential for advancing sustainable ammonia production.
