Hollow Bi 2 MoO 6 Sphere EffectivelyCatalyzes the Ambient Electroreduction of N 2 to NH 3

The industrial production of NH3 mainly uses the Haber–Bosch process, which consumes plenty of energy and releases large quantities of greenhouse gas. Electrocatalysis provides a promising alternative to realize low-emission and energy-saving pathways to achieve low-carbon and sustainable NH3 production, where a highly identifiable and highly active electrocatalyst is desired for the N2 reduction reaction (NRR). Herein, our recent experimental observations prove that hollow Bi2MoO6 spheres serve as a highly efficient electrocatalyst for NRR with brilliant selectivity. At −0.6 V versus the reversible hydrogen electrode, the facilitator can acquire values for the FE and production rate as 8.17% and 20.46 μg h–1 mg–1cat., respectively. Meanwhile, hollow Bi2MoO6 spheres also demonstrate excellent electrochemical and structure durability.
