Over 56.55% Faradaic efficiency of ambient ammonia synthesis enabled by positively shifting the reaction potential

While direct N2 reduction using electrochemistry offers an appealing method to obtain usable nitrogen, materials typically show poor activities and efficiencies. Here, authors demonstrate a single-atom catalyst, iron on N-doped carbon, to have dramatically enhanced N2 reduction efficiencies.
