Abstract
Alkali atoms are usually used as promoters to significantly increase the catalytic activity of transition-metal catalysts in a wide range of reactions such as dinitrogen conversion reactions. However, the role of alkali metal atoms remains controversial. Herein, a series of quaternary cluster anions containing lithium atoms Nb2LiNO1-4- have been synthesized and reacted with N2 at room temperature. The detailed experimental and theoretical investigations indicate that Nb2LiNO- is capable to cleave the N≡N bond and the Li atoms in Nb2LiNO1,2- act as electron donors in the N2 reduction reaction. With the increase in the number of oxygen atoms, the reactivity toward N2 is reduced from adsorption via a side-on end-on mode in Nb2LiNO2- to the inertness of Nb2LiNO4-. In Nb2LiNO3,4- anions, the Li atoms are bonded with oxygen atoms, acting as structural units to stabilize structures. Therefore, the roles of alkali atoms are able to change with different chemical environments of active sites. For the first time, we reveal how the number of ligands (oxygen atoms herein) can be used to finely regulate the reactivity toward N2.

Abstract
Shipping, which accounts for 2.6% of global carbon dioxide emissions, is urged to find clean energy solutions to decarbonise the industry and achieve the International Maritime Organization (IMO)’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emission targets by 2050. It is generally believed that hydrogen
will play a vital role in enabling the use of renewable energy sources. However, issues related with hydrogen storage and distribution currently obstruct its implementation. Alternatively, an energy-carrier such as ammonia with its carbon neutral chemical formula, high energy density and established
production, transportation and storage infrastructure could provide a practical short-term next generation power solution for maritime industry. This paper presents an overview of the state-of-the-art and emerging technologies for decarbonising shipping using ammonia as a fuel, covering general
properties of ammonia, the current production technologies with an emphasis on green synthesis methods, onboard storage and ways to generate power from it.
