FeTe2 as an earth-abundant metal telluride catalyst for electrocatalytic nitrogen fixation

FeMo–N nanosheet arrays supported on nickel foam for efficient electrocatalytic N2 reduction to NH3 under ambient conditions

“…S7 (ESI†). As seen, although Fe 1 Mo 1 –N was not so reactive as noble metals, such as Ir 8 and Ru, 9 its optimal NH 3 yield rate is comparable with those of other Mo or Fe metal compound electrocatalysts reported in the previous literature, such as 3R-MoS 2 , 43 FeTe 2 , 44 etc. Though the NH 3 yield rate and FEs of Fe 1 Mo 1 –N were higher than those of 3R-MoS 2 , the reaction potential of 3R-MoS 2 was lower.…”

Boosted nitrate electroreduction to ammonia on Fe-doped SnS2 nanosheet arrays rich in S-vacancies

“…Recently, the ambient nitrogen reduction reaction (NRR) has been attracting extensive interest for its great advantages of energy savings and zero emissions. 9–14 However, owing to the extremely high binding energy of the NN triple bond and the competitive hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), 15 most available NRR catalysts suffer from poor NH 3 yield and faradaic efficiency (FE). 16–19…”

Electrochemical Exfoliation of Janus-like BiTeI Nanosheets for Electrocatalytic Nitrogen Reduction

“…The origin of N 2 catalysis is attributed to the presence of bismuth in the material. The activity of FeTe 2 toward NRR catalysis is due to the Fe 3C sites rather than tellurium, 47 and no reports in the literature refer to iodine as a NRR catalyst. Generally, it has been discussed that metals such as bismuth can instigate the reduction of N 2 to form N 2 H* and simultaneously inhibit the more favorable HER process.…”
