Boosted Electrocatalytic N2 Reduction to NH3 by Defect‐Rich MoS2 Nanoflower
Abstract
The industrial artificial fixation of atmospheric N 2 to NH 3 is carried out using the Haber–Bosch process that is not only energy‐intensive but emits large amounts of greenhouse gas. Electrochemical reduction offers an environmentally benign and sustainable alternative for NH 3 synthesis. Although Mo‐dependent nitrogenases and molecular complexes effectively catalyze the N 2 fixation at ambient conditions, the development of a Mo‐based nanocatalyst for highly performance electrochemical N 2 fixation still remains a key challenge. Here, greatly boosted electrocatalytic N 2 reduction to NH 3 with excellent selectivity by defect‐rich MoS 2 nanoflowers is reported. In 0.1 m Na 2 SO 4, this catalyst attains a high Faradic efficiency of 8.34% and a high NH 3 yield of 29.28 µg h−1 mg−1cat. at −0.40 V versus reversible hydrogen electrode, much larger than those of defect‐free counterpart (2.18% and 13.41 µg h−1 mg−1cat.), with strong electrochemical stability. Density functional theory calculations show that the potential determining step has a lower energy barrier (0.60 eV) for defect‐rich catalyst than that of defect‐free one (0.68 eV).

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
