Nitrogen gas (N2) is one of the most abundant yet highly stable gases in the Earth’s atmosphere. Its N≡N triple bond has an extremely high bond dissociation energy (~940.95 kJ mol⁻¹), making its activation and conversion under conventional conditions very challenging. Although the Haber–Bosch process can convert N2 to ammonia (NH3), it requires high temperatures (350–550 °C) and pressures (150–350 atm), leading to significant energy consumption.
