通过这一观点，作者旨在讨论环境氨的来源，低温电化学氨合成领域在环境氨控制方面的现状，以及该领域如何改进氨测量和控制实验的机会。哈伯-博世氨生产工艺通过支持氨基施肥在20世纪实现了指数级人口爆炸。今天，联邦机构、研究人员和工业界都认为，氨生产技术需要进行一步变革。下一代工艺将成功实现关键的三重目标：能源效率、可扩展性/模块化和无二氧化碳排放。低温电催化驱动的氮（N2）和水还原为氨具有满足这三个方面的潜力。虽然在几年前由少数研究人员进行了探索，但自2015年以来，低温电催化氨合成经历了新的兴趣（图1），主要驱动力是
With this Viewpoint, the authors aim to discuss sources of ambient ammonia, the status of the field of low-temperature electrochemical ammonia synthesis with regard to controls for ambient ammonia, and opportunities for the field to improve on how ammonia measurements and control experiments are performed.The Haber− Bosch process for ammonia production enabled an exponential population explosion through the 20th century by supporting ammonia-based fertilization. Today, federal agencies, researchers, and industry alike see a need for a step change in the technology that is available for ammonia production. A next-generation process will successfully achieve a key trifecta: energy efficiency, scalability/modularity, and CO2-free emissions. Low-temperature electrocatalytically driven reduction of nitrogen (N2) and water to ammonia has the potential to meet this trifecta. While explored by a handful of researchers prior to several years ago, low-temperature electrocatalytic ammonia synthesis has experienced renewed interest since 2015 (Figure 1), with a primary drive toward a
