Electrochemical nitrogen reduction reaction (NRR) to ammonia (NH3) is considered as a promising alternative for the traditional Haber-Bosch process due to its lower energy consumption under ambient conditions. However, major obstacles still remain in improving the NRR activity and selectivity, mainl...
