The large carbon footprint of the Haber–Bosch process, which provides ammonia for fertilizers but also feedstock all nitrogenous commercial products, has fueled quest alternative synthetic strategies to nitrogen fixation. Owing extraordinarily strong N≡N triple bond, key step reaction, i.e., dissociative adsorption N2, requires high temperatures. Since first report in 1995, a wide variety molecular transition metal and f-block compounds have been reported that can fully cleave N2 at ambient conditions form well-defined nitrido complexes.

Electrocatalytic nitrogen reduction reaction (NRR) is a promising approach for renewable NH3 production, while developing the NRR electrocatalysis systems with both high activity and selectivity remains significant challenge. Herein, we combine catalyst electrolyte engineering to achieve high-efficiency enabled by Se-vacancy-rich WSe2-x in water-in-salt (WISE). Extensive characterizations, theoretical calculations, situ X-ray photoelectron/Raman spectroscopy reveal that WISE ensures suppressed H2 evolution, improved N2 affinity on surface, as well an enhanced π-back-donation ability of active sites, thereby promoting NRR. As result, excellent faradaic efficiency 62.5% yield 181.3 μg h-1 mg-1 achieved 12 m LiClO4, which among highest performances reported date.
