This paper focuses on the challenges, opportunities and future potentials with ammonia as a
carbon-free fuel, and covers recent technological solutions to overcome the barriers with the …

Electrochemical N2 reduction reactions (NRR) and the N2 oxidation reaction (NOR), using
H2O and N2, are a sustainable approach to N2 fixation. To date, owing to the chemical …

Electrochemical reduction has emerged as an environmentally-benign and sustainable
approach alternative to the Haber–Bosch process for artificial N 2 fixation at ambient …

Electrocatalytic nitrogen reduction reaction (NRR) has been an important area for many
scientists. However, high voltage requirements, low NH3 yield, and poor stability remain the …

The conversion of atmospheric nitrogen into valuable substances such as fertilisers and fine
chemicals is essential for agriculture and many other processes that sustain life on the …

Dinitrogen cleavage and hydrogenation by transition-metal centers to produce ammonia is
central in industry and in Nature. After an introductory section on the thermodynamic and …

In nature, nitrogenase can achieve efficient environmental fixation of nitrogen (N2)
molecules through π-backbonding mechanism, which inspires us to simulate the N2 fixation …

This work reports the dehydrated Zr‐based MOF UiO‐66 (SH) 2 as a visible‐light‐driven
photocatalyst to mimic the biological N2 fixation process. The 15N2 and other control …

Transition metal–sulfur (M–S) compounds are an indispensable means for biological
systems to convert N2 into NH3 (biological N2 fixation), and these may have emerged by …
