Abstract
Ammonia production systems are provided that can include: a reactor configured to receive Nand H; catalyst within the reactor, the catalyst comprising material having a band gap >3 eV; and a radiation conduit extending into the reactor and configured to expose the N, H, and catalyst to the radiation and form NH. Methods for producing ammonia are also provided. The methods can include: providing a catalyst comprising material having a band gap >3 eV; exposing the catalyst to both Nand H; and while the catalyst is exposed to both Nand H, exposing the catalyst to radiation to form NH. The methods can also include providing a catalyst comprising material having a high-band gap; exposing the catalyst to both Nand H; and while the catalyst is exposed to both Nand H, exposing the catalyst to gamma rays to form NH.
