MoO₃ nanosheets for efficient electrocatalytic N₂ fixation to NH₃

Abstract

MoO₃ nanosheets act as an efficient electrocatalyst for N₂ fixation to NH₃ with excellent selectivity at ambient conditions. In 0.1 M HCl, they show high activity with an NH₃ yield of 4.80 × 10⁻¹⁰ mol s⁻¹ cm⁻² (29.43 μg h⁻¹ mg_cat.⁻¹) and a faradaic efficiency of 1.9%.
