Summary: The increasing demand for clean energy and growing concerns regarding environmental sustainability have led to greater attention devoted toward the production of clean fuels via green chemistry. Ammonia, as a green alternative to fossil fuels, has gained great interest worldwide for electrochemical reduction in atmospheric nitrogen (N-2) to produce cheap, environmentally friendly and reliable ammonia (NH3). Single atom catalysts have shown to be more effective than nanoparticles and have been extensively studied for the nitrogen reduction reaction. This review covers recent advances in noble metal and non-noble metal single atom catalysts for electrochemical reduction in nitrogen from 2018 to 2022, discussing catalyst efficiencies, coordination preferences, and theoretical studies. Insights into current challenges and considerations for future studies are also provided.

Summary: In this study, a rich-interface heterostructured In2O3/InP catalyst was designed for photocatalytic CO2-to-CH3COOH conversion and O2 generation under visible light. XANES analysis revealed the presence of O-In-P polarized sites at the interface, while FT-IR and Raman spectra identified key intermediates for acetate production.

Summary: As an ideal carbon-free energy carrier, ammonia plays a crucial role in modern society. The conventional industrial synthesis of NH3 results in high energy consumption and environmental pollution, highlighting the importance of developing NH3 synthesis under benign conditions. Electrochemical synthesis of NH3 using zinc-nitrogen batteries has gained attention due to its mild reaction conditions and environmental friendliness. However, the current challenges lie in the low power density and ammonia production of these battery systems. This review summarizes the latest progress in zinc-nitrogen batteries, including reaction mechanisms, reactor design principles, and strategies to improve their performance.

Summary: The construction of local enhanced electric fields (LEEFs) by Ag nanoneedle arrays promotes the fracture of nitrogen gas (N2) and assists in the electrocatalytic N2 reduction reaction (eNRR). The LEEFs induce charge polarization on nitrogen atoms and lower the energy barrier in the first-protonation step of N2. The cleavage of the N=N bond and the hydrogenation of N2 by LEEFs are confirmed by the detected N-N and N-H intermediates. Regulation and tuning of LEEFs to around 4 x 104 kV m-1 enables the achievement of high ammonia selectivity with a Faradaic efficiency of 72.3 +/- 4.0% in eNRR.

Summary: Main-group metal elements have potential for high-performance NO to NH3 electrochemical reduction (NORR) catalysts, but this area remains unexplored. In this study, main-group In single atoms confined in an amorphous MoO3 substrate (In-1/a-MoO3) are investigated as efficient NORR catalysts, demonstrating a maximum NH3 yield of 242.6 mu mol h(-1) cm(-2) and NH3-faradaic efficiency of 92.8%. Further experiments and theoretical analysis reveal that single-site In atoms serve as dominant active centers, inhibiting hydrogen evolution and optimizing the hydrogenation energetics of the NO-to-NH3 pathway.

Summary: In 2011, Gogotsi et al. discovered a new type of two-dimensional transition metal carbides and nitrides, called MXenes, which have become a dazzling new star in the energy storage industry. MXenes have high mechanical flexibility, high energy density, and good electrochemical performance, making them suitable for supercapacitor applications. However, the self-stacking of MXene layers results in the loss of electrochemically active sites. Structural optimization and composite doping are effective strategies to enhance the electrochemical performance of MXenes. This review summarizes recent advances in MXene synthesis, fundamental properties, and composite materials, focusing on their electrochemical performance and the challenges and opportunities they face in the energy storage field.

Summary: This study reports a novel NRR electrocatalyst with a single Zn(I) site supported on hollow porous N-doped carbon nanofibers, exhibiting outstanding NRR activity in alkaline media for high NH3 yield rate. The atomically dispersed Zn(I) sites are likely the active sites, and the nearby graphitic N site facilitates the NRR process. In-situ measurements and theoretical calculations reveal that the formation of initial *NNH intermediate is the rate-limiting step, and the graphitic N atoms adjacent to Zn-N-4 moieties lower the energy barrier to accelerate hydrogenation kinetics during NRR.
