Defect engineering for electrochemical nitrogen reduction reaction to ammonia
Abstract
Abstract Electrochemical nitrogen reduction reaction (NRR) to ammonia (NH3) is considered as a promising alternative for the traditional Haber-Bosch process due to its lower energy consumption under ambient conditions. However, major obstacles still remain in improving the NRR activity and selectivity, mainly arising from the chemical inertness of N2 molecule, the sluggish reaction kinetics, and the competition between hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and NRR. The defect engineering can regulate and modify the local coordination environment of electrocatalysts, which could be considered as effective strategies to promote the intrinsic activity. In this review, recent advances on defect engineering of nanostructured electrocatalysts for NRR, including vacancy, doping, single atom, amorphization and high-index facet, are summarized. Particularly, the strategies of defect engineering, the reaction mechanisms, and the reliable NH3 detection methods, are systematically discussed. Finally, the opportunities and challenges towards the rational design and synthesis of advanced electrocatalysts with controlled defects for NRR are proposed.

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.
