TY  - JOUR
AB - The Mo/Fe nitrogenase enzyme is unique in its ability to efficiently reduce dinitrogen to ammonia at atmospheric pressures and room temperature. Should an artificial electrolytic device achieve the same feat, it would revolutionise fertilizers and even provide an energy dense, truly carbon-free fuel. This Review provides a coherent comparison of recent progress made in dinitrogen fixation on (i) solid electrodes, (ii) homogeneous catalysts and (iii) nitrogenases. Specific emphasis is placed on systems for which there is unequivocal evidence that dinitrogen reduction has taken place. By establishing the cross-cutting themes and synergies between these systems, we identify viable avenues for future research.
