Sulfur-modified silver telluride nanorods for high-efficient electrocatalytic reduction of nitrogen to ammonia

Evolution of Metal Tellurides for Energy Storage/Conversion: From Synthesis to Applications

“…Yuan et al [204] explored the NiTe nanocrystal for NRR in 0.1 m HCL electrolyte and found that NiTe nanocrystal performed differently for NRR with different facets exposure, shown in Figure 17c-f. The 001 facets exhibited a much higher NRR performance than 010 facets due to surface atomic Wang et al [205] proposed to fabricate the sulfur-modified silver telluride nanorods (S-Ag 2 Te NRs) through wet-chemistry method and obtained the uniform morphology. It has been noted that introduction of sulfur into metal telluride boosted the selective hydrogenation for NRR and S-Ag 2 Te NRs exhibited the excellent NH 3 production of 26.44 μg/h 1 /mg 1 cat.…”

Recent advances in Fe, Mo-based electrocatalysts for nitrogen reduction under ambient conditions

“…[12][13][14][15][16][17] Among them, noble metal catalysts show excellent NRR performances, but their high cost and scarcity limit their application on a large scale. [18][19][20][21] Alternatively, metal-free catalysts exhibit low activation of N 2 and bad electron transfer ability. Non-noble metal catalysts are mainly composed of transition metal materials, especially elements with a large number of d orbital electrons and empty orbitals, exhibiting some noble metal characteristics, which can activate N^N triple bonds as potential NRR electrocatalysts.…”

Sustainable ammonia synthesis through electrochemical dinitrogen activation using an Ag2VO2PO4 catalyst

“…In the recent past Ag based catalysts viz. Ag nanosheets, 17 Ag nanotubes, 18 Ag nanodots, 19 B doped Ag, 20 Pd–Ag–S nanosponges, 21 sulfur modified Ag 2 Te, 22 Ag 3 Cu, 23 Ag 3 PO 4 , 24 etc. have gained attention for the NRR due to their low sensitivity to hydrogen species.…”
