摘要：

Electrocatalytical nitrogen reduction reaction (NRR) under ambient conditions provides a promising substitute to the typical Haber-Bosch process that involves high energy and greenhouse gases emission. Herein, we develop non-noble metal based hollow hierarchical nanotubes (HHNTs) of CoVP@NiFeV-layered double hydroxides (LDHs) heterostructures as a high-performance electrocatalyst for NRR, in which the novel 3D hollow hierarchical structure provides highly rich surface active sites for the adsorption and reduction of nitrogen to NH3. Electrochemical measurements for NRR reveal high activity (NH3 rate: 1.6 x 10(-6) mol h(-3) cm(-2)), high Faradaic efficiency (13.8%) and excellent selectivity at -0.3 V versus reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE), outperforming other noble metals catalysts for N-2 fixation and most of state-of-the-art metal-free NRR electrocatalysts. Furthermore, CoVP@NiFeV-LDHs HHNTs could maintain high selectivity and durability over repeated reaction cycles. Therefore, this work highlights the first example of CoVP@NiFeV-LDHs hierarchical micro/nanostructures, which serve as electrocatalysts towards high-efficiency, pH-universal NRR to ammonia synthesis.
