The electrocatalytic production of ammonia has garnered considerable interest as a potentially sustainable technology for synthesis. Recently, non-metallic-doped materials have emerged promising electrochemical catalysts this purpose. This paper presents comprehensive review the latest research on production. Researchers engineered variety materials, doped with non-metals such nitrogen (N), boron (B), phosphorus (P), and sulfur (S), into different forms structures to enhance their activity selectivity. A comparison among non-metallic dopants reveals distinct effects performance For instance, N-doping shown enhanced owing introduction vacancies (NVs) improved charge transfer kinetics. B-doping demonstrated selectivity stability, which is attributed formation active sites suppression competing reactions. P-doping exhibited increased generation rates Faradaic efficiencies, likely due modification electronic structure surface properties. S-doping potential enhancing performance, although further investigations are needed elucidate underlying mechanisms. These comparisons provide valuable insights researchers conduct in-depth studies focusing specific dopants, exploring unique properties, optimizing However, we consider it priority insight recent progress made in non-metal-doped enabling long-term efficient Additionally, discusses synthetic procedures used produce highlights advantages disadvantages each method. It also provides an analysis these including yield rate, examines challenges prospects developing suggests future directions.
