Abstract

Significance: The present-day industrial ammonia synthesis is overreliance on the Haber–Bosch process, yet consumes more than 1% of the global energy supply along with gigatonne greenhouse-gas emission per year. Electrochemical nitrogen reduction reaction (ENRR) offers a sustainable path to produce ammonia under mild conditions, while its efficiency achieved by far is fairly low, which requires the development of both catalysts and electrolyzers. Here, by the cooperation of densely populated metal single atoms on graphdiyne substrate with the pressurized electrocatalytic system, the kinetics and the thermodynamic driving force of ENRR are effectively regulated, leading to a record-high ammonia yield rate. This work motivates the technological and material coevolution for the ENRR toward its envisioned application.

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.
