Ammonia is an important chemical used in the production of fertilizers. The electrochemical nitrogen reduction reaction (NRR) to synthesize ammonia has emerged to be a potential alternative approach. Here, we provide a short opinion of the current progress and challenges of nitrogen reduction reacti...
