Abstract
An electrolytic cell and method for synthesizing ammonia by utilizing a lithium selective membrane in the electrolytic cell and providing at least one lithium halogen salt as an electrolyte in the electrochemical process of producing ammonia. The reaction utilizes a hydrogen halide or hydrogen sulfide as a hydrogen oxidant in the process, and allows the regeneration of lithium halide salts that can be recycled back into the cell reaction.
