Abstract Lithium‐mediated nitrogen reduction reaction (Li‐NRR) offers a promising alternative to the energy‐intensive Haber–Bosch process for ammonia (NH 3 ) synthesis, enabling renewable‐powered NH 3 production. However, this technology faces multiple challenges in terms of Faradaic efficiency (FE), energy efficiency (EE), stability and scalability. These problems arise from a variety of causes, but they have one thing in common: they can be improved by uniform deposition of lithium (Li). Therefore, promoting uniform Li plating could serve as a key breakthrough in addressing these issues. This review highlights various studies focusing on the issues associated with Li‐NRR and proposes ideas based on previously reported research on Li metal battery (LMB) systems, which exhibit similarities with the Li‐NRR systems with respect to Li plating and the formation of a solid‐electrolyte interphase (SEI). Effective cross‐pollination of various methods, including electrode modifications, solvation control of Li + , and application of additives, are introduced. Elaboration of correspondences between Li‐NRR and LMB systems suggests an efficient research strategy for advancing the Li‐NRR field. This review underscores the synergistic potential of hybrid strategies for addressing the critical challenges related to Li‐NRR and provides future research directions and possibilities in this field, which would eventually accelerate progress toward sustainable green NH 3 production.
