The electrocatalytic nitrogen reduction reaction (NRR) under ambient conditions is regarded as a promising substitute approach to the Haber–Bosch process for artificial N2 fixation to NH3. In this communication, we constructed well-defined one-dimensional MnO nanocrystals encapsulated in carbon nanofibers (MnO–CNF) via an electrospinning method. MnO–CNF behaves as an excellent non-noble-metal NRR electrocatalyst for NH3 synthesis with a faradaic efficiency of 1.52% in 0.1 M Na2SO4 solution under ambient conditions. Remarkably, it attains a high NH3 formation rate of 35.9 μg h−1 mgcat−1 and also shows excellent durability during electrolysis and recycling tests.
