摘要：

To search the new effective nitrogen reduction reaction (NRR) electrocatalyst is very important for the ammonia-based industry. Herein, we reported the design of a novel NRR electrocatalyst with Ru NPs loaded on oxygen-vacancy TiO2 (Ru/TiO2-Vo). Structural characterizations revealed that oxygen vacancy was loaded in the matrix of Ru/TiO2-Vo. Electrocatalytic results indicated that Ru/TiO2-Vo showed good NRR performance (2.11 mu g h(-1) cm(-2)). Contrast tests showed that NRR property of Ru/TiO2-Vo was much better than those of Ru/TiO2 (B) (0.53 mu g h(-1) cm(-2)) and Ru/P25 (0.42 mu g h(-1) cm(-2)). Furthermore, density functional theory calculation results indicated catalytic mechanism of NRR and rate-determining step (*N-2 + 1/2H(2) -> * N+* NH) was the potential-determining step with the overpotential requirement of 0.21 V. A combination of electronic structure analysis and catalytic measurement shed light on the synergistic effect of Ru and oxygen vacancy on the NRR performance.
