Electrochemical nitrate reduction to ammonia offers an attractive solution to environmental sustainability and clean energy production but suffers from the sluggish *NO hydrogenation with the spin–state transitions. Herein, we report that the manipulation of oxygen vacancies can contrive spin−polari...
