Coordination tunes the activity and selectivity of the nitrogen reduction reaction on single-atom iron catalysts: a computational study

Dongxu Jiao et al.

Summary: The coordination structure of Fe-N-C catalyst greatly impacts its catalytic activity towards the nitrogen reduction reaction (NRR), with Fe-B2N2 showing the lowest limiting potential among all B-doped catalysts. Introducing B coordination effectively modulates the interaction of the single Fe atom with N2H* species, enhancing its NRR catalytic performance. Notably, Fe-B2N2 exhibits high NRR selectivity by suppressing the competing hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) both thermodynamically and kinetically.

Highly stable Mo-doped Fe2P and Fe3P monolayers as low-onset-potential electrocatalysts for nitrogen fixation

Jie Wu et al.

Summary: This study systematically investigated nitrogen reduction reaction (NRR) pathways on iron-based phosphide monolayers. Mo-doped Fe2P and Fe3P monolayers were found to efficiently promote NRR with low onset potentials, especially Mo-doped Fe3P monolayer which has the lowest onset potential to date. The doping of Mo atoms enhances the activation of dinitrogen by improving the match between transition metal d-orbitals and N-2 molecule p-orbitals.
