Abstract:The electrochemical nitrogen reduction reaction (eNRR) is a highly promising alternative to the Haber−Bosch (H− B) process, but its commercial development is limited by the high bond energy of N 2 molecules and the presence of the competitive hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Here, a metal-free composite electrocatalyst of boron nitride (h-BNNs) and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) was explored through the interfacial hybridization of h-BNNs and CNTs, which showed a highly improved eNRR Faraday efficiency (FE) of 63.9… Show more
