Abstract:
The electrocatalytic nitrogen reduction reaction (NRR) is a highly promising process for synthesizing ammonia and holds great potential to replace the traditional Haber-Bosch process. Here, we report a novel flower-shaped ZnS/CoS composite electrocatalyst for the NRR. Remarkably, the ZnS/CoS-105 heterojunction catalyst achieved an NH3 yield rate of 20.42 μg h-1 mgcat.-1 and a faradaic efficiency (FE) of 11.83% at -0.45 V VS. RHE in an aqueous 0.1 M Na2SO4 solution. In addition, ZnS/CoS-105 showed remarkable stability (up to 24 h) for the NRR process.
