Biomimetic FeMo(Se, Te) as Joint Electron Pool Promoting Nitrogen Electrofixation

Yuntong Sun et al.

Summary: It has long been believed that FeMoS structure plays a crucial role in electrochemical nitrogen fixation, but the structure of Fe bonded with heavier analogues (Se or Te) has never been explored. However, this study, based on theoretical predictions, discovers that the FeMo(Se, Te) structure, with Fe bonded to Se, exhibits enhanced N-2 electrofixation activities. Further mechanism studies provide new clues for designing versatile electrocatalytic materials for large-scale industrialization.
