摘　　要：The Haber–Bosch process is the dominant approach for NH3 production today,but the process has to be maintained at energy-intensive high temperatures and pressures.Li-mediated electrocatalytic dinitrogen reduction reaction(eN_(2)RR)could instead enable sustainable and green NH_(3) production at ambient conditions.Lithium mediators realize the synthesis of NH3 via the formation of Li3N,and thus lower the energy required for the direct cleavage of N_(2).There has now been a surge of interest in devising approaches to optimize the NH3 yield rate and faradaic efficiency of the eN_(2)RR process by employing different catalysts as well as electrolytes.This review discusses the recent advances in the field of the Limediated eN_(2)RR along with the latest insights into the proposed catalytic mechanisms.Moreover,it also highlights the state-of-the-art reported electrocatalysts and electrolytes that have revolutionized the field of the Li-mediated eN_(2)RR.In addition to the above,our review provides a critical overview of certain limitations and a future prospectus that will provide a way forward to explore this area.
