The electrochemical nitrogen reduction reaction (NRR) is a promising alternative to the energy‐intensive Haber–Bosch process for ammonia synthesis. Among the possible electrocatalysts, bismuth‐based materials have shown unique NRR properties due to their electronic structures and poor hydrogen evolu...
