Abstract
Electrochemical nitrogen reduction reaction(ENRR)provides a promising strategy to achieve sustainable synthesis of ammonia.However,despite great efforts devoted to this research field,the problems such as low energy efficiency and weak selectivity still impede its practical implementation.Most of the research to date has been concentrated on creating sophisticated electrocatalysts,and adequate knowledge of elec-trolytes is still lacking.Herein,the recent progress in electrolytes for ENRR,including alkaline,neutral,acidic,water-in-salt,organic,ionic liquid,and mixed water-organic electrolytes,is thoroughly reviewed to obtain an in-depth understanding of their effects on electrocatalytic performance.Recently developed representative electrocatalysts in various types of electrolytes are also introduced,and future research priorities of different electrolytes are proposed to develop new and efficient ENRR systems.
