We are focusing on low pressure non-equilibrium plasmas containing nitrogen, hydrogen and nitrogen hydrides. These plasmas can be relevant for the ammonia synthesis, which in turn is susceptible to become a liquid, green hydrogen storage cell. Our main objective is to contribute to the chemistry of the main ingredients - nitrogen, hydrogen and nitrogen hydrides, in particular by understanding the role of the elementary electron driven reactions. We plan to revise, produce and upgrade the needed molecular data sets, to perform state-of-the-art state-selective quantum scattering calculations.

The produced cross sections and rate coefficients will be used by the modelers in simulations to find the best plasma conditions to achieve ammonia synthesis.
