The electroreduction of nitrate to ammonia via a selective eight-electron transfer nitrate reduction reaction offers a promising, low energy consumption, pollution-free, green NH3 synthesis strategy alternative to the Haber-Bosch method. However, it remains a great challenge to achieve high NH4+ sel...
