This project aims to develop novel catalysts for high-efficient nitrogen fixation by learning from the natural enzymes, which can convert nitrogen or nitrate into reactive ammonia at very mild conditions. It is expected that the enzyme-mimicking catalysts possessing the nitrogen active sites similar with the natural enzymes will allow the effective fixation of nitrogen from both the atmosphere and the nitrogen excessively fertilized environment into reusable ammonia. The outcomes of this project will provide a sustainable approach to solve the issues in current unbalanced inorganic nitrogen cycle in the world and contribute to a green artificial nitrogen cycle while with minimized environmental impact.

该项目旨在通过学习天然酶来开发新型高效固氮催化剂，这种酶可以在非常温和的条件下将氮或硝酸盐转化为活性氨。预计具有与天然酶相似的氮活性位点的模拟酶催化剂将能够有效地将大气和氮肥过度环境中的氮固定为可重复使用的氨。该项目的成果将为解决当前世界范围内无机氮循环不平衡的问题提供一种可持续的方法，并为绿色人工氮循环做出贡献，同时将环境影响降至最低。
