摘      要：The nitrogen cycle plays an important role in nature,but N-containing products cannot meet human *** electrochemical synthesis of ammonia under ambient conditions has attracted the interest of many researchers because it provides a clean and pollution-free synthesis method;however,it has certain difficulties,including a high activation energy,multiple electron transfer,and *** factors limit the selectivity and activity of ammonia synthesis *** review summarizes progress in the electrochemical synthesis of ammonia from theory and ***,the reduction of nitrogen molecules is analyzed using orbit theory and the thermodynamic reaction ***,we first discuss the effect of the experimental setup on the nitrogen reduction reaction,and then the four critical of catalysts,including size,electronic,coordination,and orientation *** issues must be considered to produce highly-efficient catalysts for electrochemical nitrogen reduction(eNRR).This review provides an overview of the eNRR to enable future researchers to design rational catalysts.
