 Abstract

The invention provides an electrolytic cell 10 for the production of ammonia (NH3), comprising an electrolytic cell unit 100 comprising a first electrode 110, a second electrode 120, and an electrolyte 133, further a voltage generator 210, a supply 220 of a dinitrogen comprising fluid 221, and a supply 230 of a water comprising fluid 231. The electrolyte is configured to allow transport of protons. The first electrode is permeable for protons, wherein the first electrode is at first side in contact with the electrolyte and at second side is in fluid contact with the supply of the dinitrogen comprising fluid. The second electrode is permeable for protons but impermeable to 02and H2O. The second electrode is at first side also in contact with the electrolyte, and at second side in fluid contact with the supply of the water comprising fluid. The ammonia can be produced and stored in liquid form.
