An electrochemical cell 10 which comprises four volumes 1, 2, 3, 4. A porous anode 5 is provided between a first volume 1 and a second volume 2. A ground electrode 6 is provided between the second volume 2 and the third volume 3. A porous cathode 7 is provided between the third volume 3 and the fourth volume 4. The cell may be used in the synthesis of ammonia from steam (H2O) and nitrogen (N2) gas. Oxygen may be evolved from the operation of the cell. Proton containing electrolyte and nitride containing electrolyte may also be combined into a single system. |
