A Mo–salicylaldehyde-linker (Mo–Tp) based 2D MOF as a single-atom catalyst for the nitrogen reduction reaction

Abstract

This work investigates a Mo–Tp 2D MOF screened from a number of different transition-metal-based 2D MOFs. After exfoliation, the Mo–Tp 2D MOF produces ammonia via the distal pathway at a very low limiting potential of −0.38 V.
