At room temperature! That's the interesting bit.

In TFA the alternative methods for making ammonia are mentioned.

One such method, which already works at room temperature for combining hydrogen with nitrogen into ammonia, uses electricity together with a platinum-gold catalyst and it has a 13% energetic efficiency.

The methods described here uses cheaper materials and the authors hope that some time in the future it might reach a better energetic efficiency.
