title: Electrochemical Reduction of N2under Ambient Conditions for Artificial N2Fixation and Renewable Energy Storage Using N2/NH3Cycle.
abstract: Using tetrahexahedral gold nanorods as a heterogeneous electrocatalyst, an electrocatalytic N2reduction reaction is shown to be possible at room temperature and atmospheric pressure, with a high Faradic efficiency up to 4.02% at -0.2 V vs reversible hydrogen electrode (1.648 µg h-1cm-2and 0.102 µg h-1cm-2for NH3and N2H4·H2O, respectively).
