Abstract

The field of electroreduction of the oxidized forms of nitrogen (NOx) to ammonia (NH3) tends to focus on catalyst design, sometimes under impractical conditions. This Comment touches on the potential limitations of several popular approaches in NOx-to-NH3 research and explores opportunities for its translation into a more practical domain.
