Breakthrough in N2 activation! This study unveils an electron catalysis strategy that directly converts N2 into azo compounds under mild conditions—a game-changer for nitrogen fixation. By harnessing electron flow, it lowers activation energy from 3.44 eV to 0.14 eV, making azo synthesis faster, greener, and highly efficient. This innovative approach revolutionizes nitrogen chemistry, unlocking new possibilities for sustainable chemical synthesis.
