Abstract

Abstract Electrochemical nitrogen fixation‐a sustainable pathway for converting abundant N 2 into NH 3 using renewable energy‐holds transformative potential for revolutionizing artificial nitrogen cycles. Nevertheless, even the state‐of‐the‐art catalytic systems also suffer from inadequate N 2 adsorption capacity, which critically limits ammonia production rates and Faradaic efficiency (FE). To overcome this bottleneck, we strategically leveraged the antiferroelectric properties of SnO 2 to establish dipole–dipole interactions with N 2 molecules, synergistically enhancing both N 2 adsorption and activation kinetics. Building on this foundation, we construct a three‐dimensional (3D) porous SnO 2 network with…
