Enhancing electrocatalytic N2-to-NH3 fixation by suppressing hydrogen evolution with alkylthiols modified Fe3P nanoarrays

Ultrasmall iridium nanoparticles on graphene for efficient nitrogen reduction reaction

“…Ammonia (NH 3 ), an important value-added chemical, has a profound impact on modern industry and agriculture. [1][2][3][4][5][6] At present, the mainstream route for ammonia production is the Haber-Bosch process. However, this technology with high energy consumption and huge carbon footprint leads to serious environmental pollution.…”

Recent advances in MoS2-based materials for electrocatalysis

“…Therefore, suppressing the HER will be the priority. 169–171 Although competition occurs between the HER and NRR activity, considering that nitrogen fixation is highly determined by the Mo and S elements in nitrogenases, MoS 2 -based electrocatalysts are still active for the NRR which was confirmed by us theoretically and experimentally. 45 It is worth noting that the edge sites of MoS 2 act as the active sites for two electrochemical activities.…”

Nitrogen reduction reaction under ambient conditions by K3Ti8O17 nanorod electrocatalyst

“…This can aid to bring down the potential and enhance the yield and faradaic efficiency (FE) of the nitrogen reduction reaction (NRR) substantially. 14–17…”
