I am looking for something to react with nitrogen in the air. Is there any substance that can react fast with molecular nitrogen at room temperature? 




From [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrogen#Reactions)

> Elemental lithium reacts ("burns") in an atmosphere of $\ce{N2}$ to give lithium nitride:

> Magnesium also burns in nitrogen, forming magnesium nitride.
>  $$\ce{3 Mg + N2 → Mg3N2}$$
