A theoretical descriptor for screening efficient NO reduction electrocatalysts from transition-metal atoms on N-doped BP monolayer

Jie Wu et al.

Summary: This study systematically investigates the potentials of 29 transition-metal atoms anchored on the nitrogen-doped BP monolayer as efficient electrocatalysts for the electrochemical reduction of nitric oxide (NO). The MoN3/BP and IrN3/BP monatomic catalysts are identified as promising candidates for the synthesis of ammonia (NH3) due to their high limiting potentials and rate constants. The electronic analysis reveals the hybridization between the metal orbitals and NO species, leading to the activation of the adsorbed NO. Furthermore, the MoN3/BP and IrN3/BP catalysts exhibit high thermal stabilities and can be easily synthesized using precursor materials. The results provide insights for the design of efficient NORR electrocatalysts and enhance the understanding of the conversion mechanism from NO to NH3.

Role of transport polarization in electrocatalysis: A case study of the Ni-cluster/Graphene interface

Fang Bian et al.

Summary: Through first-principles calculations, this study reveals that the electronic transport states of the coupled Ni-cluster/graphene system are significantly altered compared to their isolated Ni-cluster and graphene components. Graphene dominates the overall conductivity of the interface, while the morphology of Ni-clusters controls the spin polarization efficiency. High spin polarization can lead to the self-excitation effect of the electrons, enhancing the energy of the electronic system, improving the thermodynamics of the reduction reaction, and promoting catalytic activity.

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.
