Abstract
The electrocatalytic nitrogen reduction reaction (N2RR) in aqueous media has garnered substantial interest as it allows direct conversion of N2 to NH3 under benign reaction conditions. However, the competing hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), strong N≡N bond, sluggish kinetics, and low solubility of N2 in pure water seriously limit the overall N2RR efficiency and economically viable N2RR. In this review, the emerging advances in strategies are presented towards improving electrochemical N2RR, involving three-phase interface construction, electrolyte controlling, cell configuration, and advanced electrochemical simulation choice. Finally, the current challenges and future perspectives for N2RR are highlighted.
