Abstract
Ammonia is traditionally produced via the energy-intensive Haber–Bosch process. The continuous electrochemical nitrogen reduction reaction offers a sustainable alternative, with recent breakthroughs in Li-mediated systems, paving the way for scalable and green industrial processes.
期刊介绍:
Nature Reviews Chemistry is an online-only journal that publishes Reviews, Perspectives, and Comments on various disciplines within chemistry. The Reviews aim to offer balanced and objective analyses of selected topics, providing clear descriptions of relevant scientific literature. The content is designed to be accessible to recent graduates in any chemistry-related discipline while also offering insights for principal investigators and industry-based research scientists. Additionally, Reviews should provide the authors' perspectives on future directions and opinions regarding the major challenges faced by researchers in the field.
