Highlights Sn-based MAX/MXene hybrids with abundant Sn vacancies, Sn@Ti2CT X /Ti2SnC–V, fabricated by controlled etching method, are demonstrated to be an excellent electrocatalyst for N2 electroreduction. An economic “NH3 farm” has been developed based on Sn@Ti2CT X /Ti2SnC–V electrode, demonstrated by a commercial electrochemical photovoltaic cell, which may open a novel avenue for solar energy-driven synthesis of ammonia directly from air and water. The potential of the “NH3 farm” was demonstrated by a systematic technical economic analysis.
