Integrating water electrolysis (WE) with lithium‐mediated nitrogen reduction (Li‐NRR) offers a sustainable route for green ammonia production by directly utilizing protons from water oxidation, eliminating reliance on grey or blue hydrogen. Here, polyoxometalates (POMs) function as electron‐coupled...
