Root nodules are agricultural-important symbiotic plant-microbe composites in which microorganisms receive energy from plants and reduce dinitrogen (N<sub>2</sub>) into fertilizers. Mimicking root nodules using artificial devices can enable renewable energy-driven fertilizer production. This task is challenging due to the necessity of a microscopic dioxygen (O<sub>2</sub>) concentration gradient, which reconciles anaerobic N<sub>2</sub> fixation with O<sub>2</sub>-rich atmosphere. Here we report ...[more]
