Abstract: The invention regards a method for electrochemical ammonia synthesis, comprising the steps of: —providing an electrolysis cell having a cathode, —contracting the cathode with a source of cations preferably lithium cations, a source of nitrogen a source of oxygen, and a source of protons, wherein the oxygen source provides a predefined oxygen concentration, and —subjecting the cell to a potential and current load, whereby ammonia is synthesized.

Abstract: The invention regards a method for electrochemical ammonia synthesis, comprising the steps of: providing at least one electrolysis cell; contacting the cathode with a source of lithium cations, nitrogen, and protons; and subjecting the cathode to a continuous pulsed cathode potential, including a pulsed cathodic current load, wherein the cathode potential is pulsed between the lithium reduction potential and a less negative cathode potential, whereby ammonia is synthesized.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device (10) for extracting volatile species from a liquid (20) connected to an inlet of an analysis instrument, such as a mass spectrometer (MS). The device has a chamber (4), a membrane (5) forming a barrier for the liquid at zero differential pressure between the inside and the outside of the chamber, and allowing passage of the volatile species at zero differential pressure between the inside and the outside of the chamber. The device has an inlet capillary channel (3) to feed in a carrier gas and prevent back-diffusion from the chamber, and an outlet capillary channel (6) which provides a significant pressure reduction, e.g. from atmospheric pressure in the chamber (4) to near-vacuum suitable for an MS. The invention combines the best of two worlds, i.e. the fast time-response of a DEMS system and the high sensitivity of a MIMS system, since a differential pumping stage is not needed.
