Designing, synthesizing, and applying electrochemical catalysts for the generation of ammonia (NH3) from electro-reduction
nitrogen gas (N2) in the presence of water (H2O) is a very attractive research topic due to the extremal trend for green hydrogen
utilization in the energy production sector. It became vital to be energy-free of CO2 in order to avoid elevating the earth’s temperature
and the subsequent impacts. Therefore, generating ammonia via a direct electrochemical process under ambient conditions
is the most promising and scalable green hydrogen storage technique. In this review, the challenges that face commercializing
experimental results are reported, and the performance of new electrochemical catalysts is described. The conclusion discusses the
most important technical issues which must be considered in future research.
