Interfacial Polarization Triggered by Covalent‐Bonded MXene and Black Phosphorus for Enhanced Electrochemical Nitrate to Ammonia Conversion

Abstract: MXenes have recently emerged as a new class of electrocatalysts for diverse energy conversion reactions, but they are generally considered to be catalytically inert. Herein, a strategy of interfacial polarization is put forward to improve the catalytic activity of MXenes, with the construction of an interfacial structure consisting of black phosphorus (BP) nanoflakes and Nb2C MXene nanosheets for electrochemical nitrate reduction to ammonia as a proof of concept. The experimental and computational results reve… Show more

“…The characteristic peaks of BP nanoflakes corresponding to the (002), (012), (004) and (111) crystal planes are identified in agreement with those reported previously. 41,42 The lattice spacing was calculated to be 0.53 nm according to the diffraction peak of the (002) plane. As observed from the AFM image and height profiles (Fig.…”

“…1e and the well-defined characteristic peaks centered at 360, 437 and 464 cm −1 correspond to the A g 1 (out-of-plane mode), B 2g (zigzag direction, in-plane modes) and A g 2 (armchair direction, in-plane modes) vibrational modes, respectively. 40,41,43,44 To further investigate the composition and chemical state, XPS analysis of pristine BP was performed. The predominant peaks of the P 2p 1/2 and P 2p 3/2 core level are respectively located at 130.5 eV and 129.7 eV, indicating an intense P–P bond in pristine BP, which is in good agreement with the data reported previously.…”

“…As the electrocatalytic NO 3 − -to-NH 3 conversion is an eight-electron transfer reaction and involves multiple plausible reaction pathways (NO 2 , NO, NOH, N 2 , NH 2 OH, NH 2 NH 2 , and NH 3 ). [5,[17][18][19][20] The limited 3D space formed by the nanoreactors is considered to play a domain-limiting effect resulting in local enrichment of nitrate, which facilitates the catalytic process. The coupling selectivity of N─H to NH 3 therefore could be promoted.…”
