Electrochemical nitric oxide (NO) reduction to ammonia (NH3) is an attractive nitrogen fixation way; however, the poor mechanistic understanding and unsatisfied NH3 selectivity strongly impede its practical applications. Here, we screened a suite of transition-metal electrocatalysts, in which Ni out...
