Conclusions A novel full-spectrum solar-driven SOEC coupled with Haber-Bosch process is developed for green ammonia production. To realize full-spectrum solar energy utilization, a parabolic dish, consisting of PV cells and the concentrator, is designed to convert the solar energy into the electricity and thermal for the SOEC.
A solar to ammonia efficiency of 15.6 % is achieved, which is 4.6 % higher than the state-of-the-art efficiency of solar-driven electrochemical synthesis of ammonia. By analyzing the Sankey diagram, the energy loss of photovoltaic cells and the heat losses contribute more than 63 % of the total solar input.
There has been much research conducted on producing green ammonia with solar energy, e.g., the photocatalysis , solar-driven electrocatalysis , plasma catalysis to ammonia and electrochemical lithium cycle .
