The global nitrogen cycle holds immense importance due to its crucial role in supporting life, supplying vital nutrients for plant growth, preserving environmental balance, and enabling the proper functioning of ecosystems. However, human activities frequently disrupt this cycle, leading to the accumulation of nitrates and nitrites in water bodies. This accumulation causes environmental pollution and health risks. Traditional methods for treating nitrogen pollution, including biological, physical, and chemical approaches, have inherent limitations. In recent years, electrocatalysis has emerged as a promising and sustainable approach for nitrogen management. This technology offers superior efficiency, high selectivity, and environmental *** not only enables accurate detection of nitrogen pollutants in the environment but also facilitates their conversion into harmless nitrogen gas. Moreover, recent advancements have focused on the upcycling of nitrogen pollutants into valuable compounds,such as ammonia and urea. In this comprehensive review, we showcase the applications of electrocatalysis in sustainable nitrogen management. Specifically, we highlight its use in the sensing, removal, and upcycling of major nitrogen pollutants,including nitrate（NO3-）, nitrite（NO2-）, and nitric oxide（NO）. We discuss the use of catalysts, such as Pd alloys, Cu-based, and Fe-based materials, in electrochemical sensing and catalysis. Additionally, we explore recent advancements in the conversion of nitrogen pollutants into valuable compounds like ammonia and urea. The review also addresses current challenges and future opportunities in the field, including innovations in sensor and catalyst design, as well as large-scale treatment strategies. We anticipate that these perspectives will provide profound insights for effective nitrogen pollution control and sustainable utilization of nitrogen resources.

We synthesized CaRuO3 (001) thin films on a set of substrates and investigated their electronic and magnetic properties via combining magnetotransport measurements with first-principles density-functional theory calculations. The experimental results indicate that a moderate strain can introduce the Kondo effect in the system, leading to a significant modulation of the non-Fermi liquid behavior. Moreover, when the strain reaches a certain threshold, the system undergoes a metal-semiconductor transition, accompanied by a transition from a nonmagnetic state to a plausible G-type antiferromagnetic state. We attribute the observed phenomena in CaRuO3 to strain-induced disruption of the delicate balance between the itinerant and the local Ru 4d electrons. These findings shed light on the intriguing magnetic and non-Fermi liquid behavior of CaRuO3, systematically tailored by heteroepitaxial strain.
