Ambient Lithium-Mediated Ammonia Synthesis

Electrochemical nitrogen reduction enables ammonia synthesis under ambient conditions. Here, the mechanism of lithium-mediated nitrogen reduction is described, which offers critical insights for future increases in rates and efficiencies. Keywords: ammonia; electrochemical synthesis; Haber–Bosch; li...
