The electrocatalytic nitrogen reduction reaction (NRR) emerges as an alternative approach for N 2 fixation at ambient conditions. Although many noble‐metal‐based catalysts have been explored, there is still a lack of high‐efficiency noble‐metal‐free catalysts. In their Communication on page 6073 ff., G. Yu, G. Chen et al. report an amorphous noble‐metal‐free hybrid catalyst with high NH 3 yield and Faradaic efficiency. Such a hybrid catalyst enables effective N 2 adsorption and charge transfer for the NRR process.
