    摘要: The invention relates to a process and system for electrolytic production ammonia. The process comprises feeding nitrogen to an electrolytic cell, where it comes in contact with a cathode electrode surface, wherein said surface has a catalyst surface comprising at least one transition metal oxide, the electrolytic cell further comprising a proton donor, and running a current through said electrolytic cell, whereby nitrogen reacts with protons to form ammonia. The process and system of the invention uses an electrochemical cell with a cathode surface having a catalytic surface that is preferably charged with one or more of Rhenium oxide, Tantalum oxide and Niobium oxide.
