Abstract Electrochemical nitrogen reduction reaction (NRR) is a sustainable alternative to the Haber‒Bosch process for ammonia (NH 3 ) production. However, significant uphill energy in multistep NRR pathway bottleneck favorable serial reactions. To overcome this challenge, we designed vanadium oxide/nitride (V 2 O /VN) hybrid electrocatalyst which V and VN coexist coherently at heterogeneous interface. Since single‐phase exhibit different surface catalytic kinetics NRR, /VN can provide alternating pathways, selecting lower each material pathway. As result, yield of was 219.6 µg h −1 cm −2 , Faradaic efficiency 18.9%, much higher than that VN, x y solid solution catalysts without heterointerfaces. Density functional theory calculations confirmed composition these electrocatalysts allows proceed from low‐energy through migration adsorption intermediate species. Therefore, design metal hybrids with coherent heterointerfaces provides novel strategy synthesizing highly efficient electrochemical induce steps progression NRR.

With the increasing demand for downstream ammonia products, research on fuel has received growing attention. Therefore, under "dual carbon" context, it is crucial to develop an energy-efficient and environmentally friendly method synthesis. Current indicates that electrocatalytic synthesis one of most promising methods. This study systematically summarizes three major factors influencing nitrogen reduction reaction (eNRR) catalysts synthesis: material optimization, structural design, engineering. In terms materials, precious-metal-based, non-precious-metal-based, metal-free eNRR are classified listed. By examination properties catalytic effects various metals non-metals in synthesis, materials with highest activity can be further identified. To enhance efficiency, strategies, such as vacancy creation, doping, interface engineering, facet changes size morphology active sites, have been summarized. integration reactions, including microscale activation, proton transfer, electron efficiency was discussed depth. Finally, urgent issues need addressed current were discussed, unique insights future development provided. review aims provide innovative ideas design improve rate selectivity catalysts.

ABSTRACT Carbon electrocatalyst materials based on lignocellulosic biomass with multi‐components, various dimensions, high carbon content, and hierarchical morphology structures have gained great popularity in electrocatalytic applications recently. Due to the catalytic deficiency of neutral atoms, usage single lignocellulosic‐based electrocatalysis involving energy storage conversion presents unsatisfactory applicability. However, atomic‐level modulation lignocellulose‐based can optimize electronic structures, charge separation, transfer processes, so forth, which results substantially enhanced performance carbon‐based catalysts. This paper reviews recent advances rational design as electrocatalysts from an perspective, such self/external heteroatom doping metal modification. Then, through systematic discussion principles reaction mechanisms catalysts, prepared catalysts rechargeable batteries are reviewed. Finally, challenges improving prospects diverse review contributes synthesis strategy via modulation, turn promotes lignocellulose valorization for conversion.
