Abstract

Dinitrogen conversion to ammonia via electrochemical reduction with over 10% Faradaic efficiency is demonstrated in this work. Co-doped MoS 2- x polycrystalline nanosheets with S vacancies as the catalysts are loaded onto carbon cloth by hydrothermal growth from Mo, Co, and S precursors. A sulfur vacancy on the MoS 2- x basal plane mimicking the natural Mo-nitrogenase active site is modified by Co doping and exhibits superior dinitrogen-to-ammonia conversion activity. Density-functional simulation reveals that the free energy barrier, which can be compensated by applied overpotential, is reduced from 1.62 to 0.59 eV after Co doping. Meanwhile, dinitrogen tends to be chemically adsorbed to defective MoS 2- x, which effectively activates the dinitrogen molecule for the dissociation of the N≡N triple bond. This process is further accelerated by Co doping, resulting from the modulation of Mo–N bonding configuration.

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.
