Localized High-Concentration Electrolyte in Li-Mediated Nitrogen Reduction for Ammonia Synthesis.

ABSTRACT: The lithium-mediated nitrogen reduction reaction (Li-NRR) is a promising green alternative to the Haber-Bosch process for ammonia synthesis. The solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) is crucial for high efficiency and stability, as it regulates reactant diffusion and suppresses side reactions. The SEI properties are greatly influenced by the Li⁺ ion solvation structure, which is controllable through electrolyte engineering. Although anion-derived SEI enhances selectivity and stability, it has typically been engineered using high-concentration electrolytes (HCEs), which face mass transfer, viscosity, and cost issues. In this study, a localized high-concentration electrolyte (LHCE) in the Li-NRR is first introduced, enabling the formation of anion-derived SEI in a low-concentration e
