主　　题：electrochemical NRR Faradic efficiency Fe-based catalysts NH_(3)production NH_(3)selectivity 

摘      要：As one of the most important chemicals and carbon-free energy carriers,ammonia(NH3)has significant energy-related applications in industry and *** percent of NH_(3) is produced by the Haber-Bosch process using high-purity N_(2) and H_(2) at high temperatures and pressures,which consumes about 1%of the total energy production and causes 1.4% of global CO_(2) *** environmentally friendly electrochemical nitrogen reduction reaction(NRR)with low energy consumption is a promising alternative to the conventional Haber-Bosch ***,the main issue is the low Faradaic efficiency and NH3 selectivity of electrochemical NRR,caused by inert nitrogen molecules and competitive hydrogen evolution *** one of the cheapest and most abundant transition metals widely utilized in the Haber-Bosch process,the Fe element has presented the potential high performance for the electrochemical *** article summarizes recent advances and research progress in non-noble Fe-based catalysts used for NH_(3) *** synthetic protocols,structure/morphology modification,performance improvement,and reaction mechanisms are comprehensively *** on recent experimental and theoretical studies,we aim to illuminate the structure-property relationship and offer an excellent opportunity for engineering advanced Fe-based catalysts for nitrogen *** most critical challenges and opportunities for Fe-based catalysts are also *** review would open up a promising avenue toward developing platinum-group-metal-free catalysts for electrochemical NRR applications in the future.
