Electrochemical nitrogen (N2) reduction reaction (ENRR) is a promising alternative to the traditional Haber–Bosch process for ammonia (NH3) production, offering milder conditions with lower environmental impact. However, there are significant limitations to achieving efficient ENRR, including low Faradaic efficiency (FE) and limited NH3 production rates, due to the slow inert N2 activation and competing hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). This study introduces mesoporous tungsten oxynitride nanofiber (mWONx NF) as highly efficient electrocatalysts for ENRR. Synthesized via electrospinning, calcination, and nitridation processes, the mWONx NF features multivalence states and oxygen vacancies, enhancing N2 activation by providing abundant active sites and facilitating electron transfer to the N2 molecule. Moreover, the three-phase boundary (TPB), a key factor in enhancing ENRR, is facilitated by the one-dimensional mesoporous structure of the material, thereby increasing local N2 concentration near the catalyst surface while suppressing the HER. Consequently, the mWONx NF achieves a remarkable FE of 32 % at −0.2 VRHE and an NH3 production rate of 27 μg h−1 cm−2 at −0.5 VRHE in 0.1 M HCl. This work not only demonstrates the viability of tungsten-based electrocatalysts for sustainable NH3 production but also emphasizes the importance of TPB formation strategies in electrochemical applications involving poorly soluble gases.
