Photocatalytic ammonia synthesis by water and dinitrogen

It is reported that the chemists in U.S. synthesized ammonia from water and dinitrogen by using sunlight and a special catalyst of Ti02 powder incorporated with iron oxide. This process can be carried out at near room temperature and atmospheric 

Recently, along with the progress of photochemistry by solar energy, Schrauzer et first reported a photocatalytic method for reduction of nitrogen on Ti02 powder. Fujiashima et synthesized ammonia by Ti02, ZnO and SiC pow-
