Abstract The electrocatalytic reduction of nitrate (NO 3 RR) is essential for environmental remediation and the nitrogen cycle, yet effects local microenvironment at multiple‐level on catalysis remain largely unclear. This review focuses analyzing impact microenvironmental engineering NO RR from multiscopic. Four aspects are detailed understanding regulation in RR, that are, electronic/molecular interactions (theory simulations), catalysts/reactants (intrinsic activity modulation), solution (anion/cation effect) diffusion (electrocatalytic reactor design). Additionally, relevant situ characterization techniques various material systems (metals, compounds, carbon composites, organic composites) discussed detail can modulate reaction microenvironment. Given potential large‐scale applications, necessary designs also summarized industrial level optimized performance. concludes by outlining future research directions enhancing microenvironment, which will be crucial developing efficient catalysts expanding application microenvironments.
