<br/>Herein we demonstrate the synthesis of ammonia via atmospheric DBD plasma discharge over zeolite 5A. The presence of the zeolite in the DBD reactor promoted the formation of microdischarges and a change of the voltage-current characteristics of the reactor leading to an enhanced catalytic performance. The perturbation of the zeolite surface electronic properties due to atmospheric plasma may led to an enhanced reactive state at the zeolite surface which promoted the dissociation of nitrogen and the subsequent formation of ammonia. An energy yield of 9.0 g-NH<sub>3</sub>/kWh was observed in the presence of zeolite 5A, which is at least 50 times higher than that obtained in the absence of the zeolite.
