Abstract:Synthesis of ammonia by electrochemical nitrogen reduction reaction (NRR) is a promising alternative to the Haber‐Bosch process. However, it is commonly obstructed by the high activation energy. Here, we report the design and synthesis of an Al‐Al bonded dual atomic catalyst stabilized within an amorphous nitrogen‐doped porous carbon matrix (Al2NC) with high NRR performance. The dual atomic Al2‐sites act synergistically to catalyze the complex multiple steps of NRR through adsorption and activation, enhancing … Show more
