摘要
Electrocatalytic reduction of NO to NH3 (NORR) emerges as a promising route for achieving harmful NO treatment and sustainable NH3 generation. In this work, we first report that Mo2C is an active and selective NORR catalyst. The developed Mo2C nanosheets deliver a high NH3 yield rate of 122.7 mu mol h-1 cm-2 with an NH3 Faradaic efficiency of 86.3% at -0.4 V. Theoretical computations unveil that the surface-terminated Mo atoms on Mo2C can effectively activate NO, promote protonation energetics, and suppress proton adsorption, resulting in high NORR activity and selectivity of Mo2C.
