Using tetrahexahedral gold nanorods as a heterogeneous electrocatalyst , an electrocatalytic N 2 reduction reaction is shown to be possible at room temperature and atmospheric pressure, with a high Faradic efficiency up to 4.02% at −0.2 V vs reversible hydrogen electrode (1.648 µg h −1 cm −2 and 0.102 µg h −1 cm −2 for NH 3 and N 2 H 4 ·H 2 O, respectively).
