Ammonia(NH3)is a multifunctional compound that is an important feedstock for the agricultural and pharmaceutical industries and attractive energy storage medium.At present,NH3 synthesis is highly dependent on the conventional Haber-Bosch process that operates under harsh conditions,which con-sumes large quantities of fossil fuels and releases a large amount of carbon dioxide.As an alternative,electrosynthesis is a prospective method for producing NH3 under normal temperature and pressure con-ditions.Although electrocatalytic nitrogen reduction to ammonia has attracted considerable attentions,the low solubility of N2 and high N=N cracking energy render the achievements of high NH3 yield rate and Faradaic efficiency difficult.Nitrate and nitrite(NOx-)are common N-containing pollutants.Due to their high solubilities and low dissociation energy of N=O,NOx-are ideal raw materials for NH3 pro-duction.Therefore,electrocatalytic NOx-reduction to NH3(eNOxRR)is a prospective strategy to simulta-neously realise environmental protection and NH3 synthesis.This review offers a comprehensive understanding of the thriving eNOxRR under ambient conditions.At first,the popular theory and mech-anism of eNOxRR and a summary of the measurement system and evaluation criteria are introduced.Thereafter,various strategies for developing NOx-reduction catalysts are systematically presented and discussed.Finally,the challenges and possible prospects of electrocatalytic NOx-reduction are outlined to facilitate energy-saving and environmentally friendly large-scale synthesis of NH3 in the future.
