Vacancy Engineering Of Iron-Doped W18o49 Nanoreactors For Low-Barrier Electrochemical Nitrogen Reduction

In their Communication (DOI: 10.1002/anie.202002029), J. Liang, S. Zhou, J. Liu, et al. demonstrate the simultaneous achievement of a high ammonia yield rate and high Faradic efficiency for electrochemical nitrogen reduction on a Fe-doped W18O49 nanowire@carbon paper catalyst, at a low overpotential. This work not only provides an outstanding electrocatalyst for nitrogen reduction, but also opens a new avenue for modulating the electronic and catalytic properties of electrocatalysts for various electrochemical processes.
