In article number 1907690, Zhigang Geng, Jie Zeng, and co‐workers report a fluorine‐doped 3D porous carbon framework as a highly efficient metal‐free catalyst toward N 2 electroreduction. F‐bonding to carbon atoms creates a Lewis acid site to enhance the repulsive interaction with protons for suppressing H 2 evolution, thus enhancing the selectivity of N 2 electroreduction into NH 3 .
