Abstract

Electrochemical reduction of aqueous nitrogen (N₂) at an overpotential of 0.14 V with relatively high faradaic efficiency (FE) of 0.72% is achieved on (110)-oriented Mo nanofilm. A rate of NH₃ formation as high as 3.09 × 10^-11 mol s^-1 cm^-2 can be obtained under an applied potential of -0.49 V (vs. reversible hydrogen electrode, RHE). This is a record-high activity, higher than that reported in previous experimental results under comparable reaction conditions.
