Abstract
Industrially ammonia (NH3) is produced from the energy-intensive Haber-Bosch (HB) process. Electrochemical nitrogen reduction reaction (eNRR) is often hailed as a possible alternative to the HB process, as it has lower energy requirements and can reduce N2 to NH3 at ambient conditions. In this review, 50 catalysts for eNRR synthesised within the last three years are judged based on the energy economics and yield rate, to determine if they could be a suitable alternative to the HB process.
期刊介绍：
The development of the Current Opinion journals stemmed from the acknowledgment of the growing challenge for specialists to stay abreast of the expanding volume of information within their field. In Current Opinion in Electrochemistry, they help the reader by providing in a systematic manner:
1.The views of experts on current advances in electrochemistry in a clear and readable form.
2.Evaluations of the most interesting papers, annotated by experts, from the great wealth of original publications.
In the realm of electrochemistry, the subject is divided into 12 themed sections, with each section undergoing an annual review cycle:
• Bioelectrochemistry • Electrocatalysis • Electrochemical Materials and Engineering • Energy Storage: Batteries and Supercapacitors • Energy Transformation • Environmental Electrochemistry • Fundamental & Theoretical Electrochemistry • Innovative Methods in Electrochemistry • Organic & Molecular Electrochemistry • Physical & Nano-Electrochemistry • Sensors & Bio-sensors •
