Rational Design of Fe–N/C Hybrid for Enhanced Nitrogen Reduction Electrocatalysis under Ambient Conditions in Aqueous Solution
Abstract
Developing efficient noble-metal-free catalysts for the electrochemical N 2 reduction reaction (NRR) under ambient conditions shows promise in fertilizer production and hydrogen storage. Here, as a proof-of-concept prototype, we design and implement an Fe–N/C–carbon nanotube (CNT) catalyst derived from a metal–organic framework and carbon-nanotube-based composite with built-in Fe–N 3 active sites. This catalyst exhibits enhanced NRR activity with NH 3 production (34.83 μg·h –1 ·mg –1 cat. ), faradaic efficiency (9.28% at −0.2 V vs RHE), selectivity, and stability in 0.1 M KOH aqueous media under mild conditions. Experimental and theoretical results both reveal that Fe–N 3 species are the primary catalytically active centers for the NRR. This work provides insight into precise construction of more efficient and stable NRR electrocatalysts and further expands the possibilities of transition metal–nitrogen–carbon (M–N–C)-based nanomaterials in NRR fields.

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.
