Series A · Lithium-mediated N₂ reduction
Ammonia, made from air and electricity.
Hazeladd's continuous-flow electrochemical reactor synthesises NH₃ at ambient pressure — no methane feedstock, no 200 bar vessels, no centralised plant.
Technology
Three ideas that let us skip Haber-Bosch
Lithium-mediated cathode
A cyclable lithium plating layer strips atmospheric N₂ to a nitride intermediate without needing a thermal catalyst bed.
Proton-shuttle electrolyte
A non-aqueous carrier delivers protons to the nitride interface while keeping competing hydrogen evolution below 8%.
Continuous-flow stack
Planar cells number up instead of scaling up, so a reactor skid fits in a shipping container next to a wind or solar array.
Process
From air to ammonia in four steps
-
01
Air separation
Nitrogen is drawn from ambient air, no cryogenic separation required.
-
02
N₂ activation
The lithium cathode reduces N₂ to a solid-state nitride film.
-
03
Protonation
Shuttled protons convert the nitride to NH₃ at the electrolyte interface.
-
04
NH₃ recovery
Gaseous ammonia is stripped and condensed for storage or direct injection.
