Electrocatalytic nitrate reduction to ammonia (ENRA) has emerged as a promising strategy due its dual functionality in wastewater treatment and sustainable synthesis. Two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials offer the exposure of highly active sites, tunability electronic structure, enhanced mass transfer capabilities, thereby optimizing atomic-scale kinetics reaction improving synthesis efficiency. This review provides comprehensive overview recent advances field 2D nanomaterials. Initially, fundamental mechanisms are examined. Subsequently, paper explores advantages materials, including metallic variants (e.g., metals, metal oxides, hydroxides, carbides, nitrides, borides, 2D-confined single-atom catalysts) well nonmetallic focusing on their roles activation proton-coupled electron processes. Finally, this prospective development catalysts, addressing challenges related long-term stability under industrial-grade current densities outlining potential avenues for future research area.
