Implantation of iron into copper: an effective strategy for facilitating electrocatalytic nitrogen reduction reaction

Yi Kong et al.

Summary: Electrocatalytic nitrogen reduction reaction (ENRR) is a potential alternative to the Haber-Bosch approach, and a simple and effective strategy of iron surface implantation is recommended to enhance the NRR activity. The Fe/Cu catalyst achieved a NH3 yield rate of 6.8 +/- 0.4 mg/h/cm and a Faradaic efficiency of 16.0 +/- 1.1% in an alkaline electrolyte. Theoretical calculations showed that iron implantation can improve nitrogen adsorption, weaken the N-N bond, and lower the energy barrier of the potential determining step for promoting the NRR process. This work provides a new route for designing efficient catalysts for ENRR under ambient conditions.《Design of Fe/Cu catalyst and its application in nitrogen reduction reaction》
