Industrial NH3 synthesis mainly relies on the carbon-emitting Haber–Bosch process operating under severe conditions. Electrocatalytic N2-to-NH3 fixation under ambient conditions is an attractive approach to reduce energy consumption and avoid direct carbon emission. In this communication, sulfur-dop...
