二维超薄纳米片在四方硫铁矿FeS上的高效电化学氮还原

摘要: 电催化氮还原反应(NRR)被认为是一种很有前途的氨合成方法,有助于实现碳中和可持续性的目标。然而,该工艺经常受到氮气活化和竞争反应的阻碍,导致氨气产率和法拉第效率低。本文中,我们通过一种简单的方法在温和的条件下制备了一种具有高导电性的二维超薄FeS纳米片。制备的FeS催化剂可作为电化学NRR电池的工作电极。该催化剂氨气产率为9.0 μg·h−1·mg−1(相当于1.47 × 10−4 μmol·s−1·cm−2),法拉第效率高达12.4%,明显优于其他大多数NRR催化剂。由于FeS的二维结构和高导电性使其具有较高的催化性能,这为探索低成本和高性能的铁基电催化剂提供了新的视角,并加速了NRR的实际应用。

 

Two-dimensional ultrathin nanosheets over mackinawite FeS for efficient electrochemical N2 reduction

Abstract: Electrocatalytic N2 reduction reaction (NRR) has been considered as a promising and alternative strategy for the synthesis of NH3, which will contribute to the goal of carbon neutrality and sustainability. However, this process often suffers from the barrier for N2 activation and competitive reactions, resulting in poor NH3 yield and low Faraday efficiency (FE). Here, we report a two-dimensional (2D) ultrathin FeS nanosheets with high conductivity through a facile and scalable method under mild condition. The synthesized FeS catalysts can be used as the work electrode in the electrochemical NRR cell with N2-saturated Na2SO4 electrolyte. Such a catalyst shows a NH3 yield of 9.0 μg·h−1·mg−1 (corresponding to 1.47 × 10−4 μmol·s−1·cm−2) and a high FE of 12.4%, which significantly outperformed the other most NRR catalysts. The high catalytic performance of FeS can be attributed to the 2D mackinawite structure, which provides a new insight to explore low-cost and high-performance Fe-based electrocatalysts, as well as accelerates the practical application of the NRR.
