The electrochemical reduction of nitrogen to ammonia represents a challenge of major interest that would substantially decrease the burden of the energy-consuming Haber–Bosch process. Now, Yin, Yan, Zhang, Si and colleagues achieve high ammonia yield and Faradaic efficiency over 66% using bismuth nanocatalysts promoted by alkali cations.
