摘要

The energy-intensive Haber-Bosch process currently dominants the production of ammonia (NH3), an indispensable chemical forhumans. For the sustainable development of society, highly efficient and green strategies to convert nitrogen (N2) to NH3 are urgentlyrequired. Electrocatalytic N2 reduction reaction (eNRR) is universally regarded as a promising strategy owing to the mild operatingconditions and renewable energy supply. The key for eNRR is the high-performance catalysts, which activate the inert N-N triple bondand thus decrease the energy barrier. Herein, the recent theoretical and experimental progress on eNRR catalysts at room temperatureand ambient pressure is summarized, aiming to provide a reference for future design of high-performance eNRR catalysts.
