Where did you conclude it was somewhat better than using electricity for electrolysis?



I took the author's claim of 100% electrolytic efficiency at face value and contrasted with typical water electrolysis efficiencies, followed by a Haber-Bosch step.

This method of direct electroreduction should not confused with the Laser-induced method discussed elsewhere in the thread, which has abysmal numbers.


The 100% efficiency is faradaic efficiency, not energy efficiency, I believe.
