Tailoring the d-Band Center of Double-Perovskite LaCoxNi1-xO3 Nanorods for High Activity in Artificial N2 Fixation

Kaibin Chu et al.

Summary: In this study, the d-band centers of double-perovskite LaCoxNi1-xO3 (LCNO) nanorods were modulated to enhance the electrocatalytic nitrogen reduction reaction (eNRR) activity. Among various LCNO NRs, LCNO-III showed the highest catalytic efficiency and NH3 yield rate, which was in line with theoretical calculations indicating its strong adsorption ability for N-2 molecules. This work suggests a general rule for developing novel catalysts, especially perovskite-based catalysts, by modulating the corresponding d-band centers to substantially increase eNRR activity.

Revealing Ammonia Quantification Minefield in Photo/Electrocatalysis

Yunxuan Zhao et al.

Summary: Although the technology for photo/electrocatalytic ammonia synthesis has developed rapidly, the yields over state-of-the-art catalysts remain very moderate, leading to challenges in reliable quantification of the low concentration of synthesized ammonia. Integration of multiple detection methods is proposed to overcome the challenges in detecting low concentrations of ammonia, and an effective criterion for precise quantification of ammonia is presented to avoid unreasonable comparisons in photo/electrocatalytic ammonia synthesis.

Nitrogen reduction to ammonia at high efficiency and rates based on a phosphonium proton shuttle

Bryan H. R. Suryanto et al.

Summary: Ammonia (NH3) is a globally important commodity for fertilizer production, but its synthesis by the Haber-Bosch process causes substantial emissions of carbon dioxide. Alternative methods being explored include the promising electrochemical lithium-mediated nitrogen reduction reaction, which has required sacrificial sources of protons. In this study, a phosphonium salt is introduced as a proton shuttle to help resolve this limitation, resulting in high NH3 production rates and demonstrated continuous operation for more than 3 days.

A tuned Lewis acidic catalyst guided by hard-soft acid-base theory to promote N2 electroreduction

Yongwen Ren et al.

Summary: The study presents a paradigm for designing an electrocatalyst with tuned Lewis acidity to efficiently activate and reduce N-2 to NH3 based on the hard-soft acid-base theory. Increasing the Lewis acidity of the molybdenum sulfide (MoSx) model catalyst supported on carbon nanotubes greatly improves its ability to activate the N-2 molecule, resulting in significantly enhanced NH3 yield rate and selectivity. Density functional theory calculations confirm that tuning the Lewis acidity of MoSx to match the basicity of N-2 can accelerate the N-2 activation process via the sigma -> d donation mechanism.
