The traditional method of producing ammonia for agriculture involves converting dinitrogen gas (N2) into ammonia (NH3) using the energy-intensive Haber-Bosch process. This process not only consumes 2% of the global energy but also generates significant greenhouse gases, contributing to environmental concerns. However, a promising alternative approach using sunlight to drive the ammonia production process is
