The fixation of nitrogen (N2) from the air into ammonia (NH3) and nitrate (NO3−) is usually conducted using the Haber–Bosch process, which requires the raw material of hydrocarbons for hydrogen (H2), which has a large amount of energy but produces high CO2 emissions. An environmentally friendly and energy‐saving alternative is the air plasma electrolysis method, which can be used to synthesize NH3 and NO3− under ambient conditions. In this study, this method was used to inject air into the plasma zone in a K2SO4 electrolyte solution to produce N2 fixation compounds. The results showed that the use of cathodic plasma promoted the formation of NH3 but suppressed NO3− production. The optimal air injection rate was achieved at 0.6 L.min−1 and an electrical power of 452 W, with a total fixed N2 of 51.66 mmol. The highest formation of NO3− in cathodic plasma was obtained in 35 min, with a value of 29.92 mmol, and 2.57 mmol NH3 was achieved at 60 min. The high concentration of H2 gas, which is a by‐product of this process, can contribute to increasing the use of Haber–Bosch green technology in the production of NH3.
