MoS(2)‐Based Catalysts for N(2) Electroreduction to NH(3) – An Overview of MoS(2) Optimization Strategies

The nitrogen reduction reaction (NRR) has become an ideal alternative to the Haber‐Bosch process, as NRR possesses, among others, the advantage of operating under ambient conditions and saving energy consumption. The key to efficient NRR is to find a suitable electrocatalyst, which helps to break th...

description The nitrogen reduction reaction (NRR) has become an ideal alternative to the Haber‐Bosch process, as NRR possesses, among others, the advantage of operating under ambient conditions and saving energy consumption. The key to efficient NRR is to find a suitable electrocatalyst, which helps to break the strong N≡N bond and improves the reaction selectivity. Molybdenum disulfide (MoS(2)) as an emerging layered two‐dimensional material has attracted a mass of attention in various fields. In this minireview, we summarize the optimization strategies of MoS(2)‐based catalysts which have been developed to improve the weak NRR activity of primitive MoS(2). Some theoretical predictions have also been summarized, which can provide direction for optimizing NRR activity of future MoS(2)‐based materials. Finally, an outlook about the optimization of MoS(2)‐based catalysts used in electrochemical N(2) fixation are given.
