Nitrogen Reduction Reactions: Advances in Electrocatalytic N₂ Reduction—Strategies to Tackle the Selectivity Challenge (Small Methods 6/2019)

Abstract

In article number 1800337, Liang-Xin Ding, Haihui Wang, and co-workers review current strategies to address the selectivity challenges for electrochemical nitrogen reduction reaction (NRR). The proposed strategies are systematically summarized from the perspective of catalyst design, cell configuration, electrolyte choice etc. Moreover, as a new field, a standard pattern for executing control experiments is recommended. This review gives further insights about NRR studies.
