NH3 is an indispensable chemical with numerous applications; however, its large-scale synthesis highly relies on the industrial Haber–Bosch process, which is performed under harsh conditions (high temperature and pressure). The electrochemical N2 reduction reaction (NRR) provides an avenue to synthe...
