Nanoengineering Metal–Organic Frameworks and Derivatives for Electrosynthesis of Ammonia

Abstract

Highlights Recent advances in the metal–organic framework (MOF)-related catalysts for electrochemical ammonia synthesis protocols under ambient reaction conditions are summarized and discussed. The design and fabrication of efficient electrocatalysts from MOF for the reduction of N2 and NO3 − are systematically analyzed. Based on the current advances, the ongoing challenges and promising perspectives are highlighted.
