Efficient Photocatalytic Nitrogen Fixation over Cuδ+‐Modified Defective ZnAl‐Layered Double Hydroxide Nanosheets
Abstract
The photocatalytic reduction of nitrogen (N 2) with water (H 2 O) as the reducing agent holds great promise as a sustainable future technology for the synthesis of ammonia (NH 3). Herein, the effect of oxygen vacancies and electron‐rich Cuδ+ on the performance of zinc‐aluminium layered double hydroxide (ZnAl‐LDH) nanosheet photocatalysts for N 2 reduction to NH 3 under UV–vis excitation is systematically explored. Results show that a 0.5%‐ZnAl‐LDH nanosheet photocatalyst (containing 0.5 mol% Cu by metal basis) affords a remarkable NH 3 production rate of 110 µmol g−1 h−1 and excellent stability in pure water. The X‐ray absorption spectroscopy, electron paramagnetic resonance, and density functional theory calculations reveal that Cu addition imparts oxygen vacancies and coordinatively unsaturated Cuδ+ (δ < 2) with electron‐rich property in the ZnAl‐LDH nanosheets, both of which readily contribute to efficient separation and transfer of photogenerated electrons and holes and promote N 2 adsorption, thereby both activating N 2 and facilitating its multielectrons reduction to NH 3.

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.
