Abstract
In the ammonia synthesis method, an anode and a cathode are arranged in an electrolyte phase at a predetermined interval; water (HO) is supplied to an anode zone and light is radiated so that water is decomposed by a photoabsorption reaction to generate protons (H), electrons (e), and an oxygen gas (O); a nitrogen gas (N) is supplied to a cathode zone, and the electrons (e) generated in the anode zone are allowed to transfer to the cathode zone through a lead, thereby generating Nin the cathode zone; and ammonia (NH) is synthesized through the reaction between the protons (H) that have moved toward the cathode zone from the anode zone in the electrolyte phase and N.
