Ammonia (NH3) is a promising energy vector for the storage and utilization of renewable energies. Artificially synthesizing NH3 from its elements requires harsh reaction conditions (400-500 °C, 10–30 MPa) because N2 is inert and nonpolar with a strong N≡N bond. The synthesis of NH3 under mild conditions is still challenging.
