“…[67][68][69] Regarding facet stability, experimental studies show that the growth of films of ZrN, TiN, NbN and CrN results in the texture coefficient for the (100) planes of the synthesized polycrystalline to be one of the major preferential directions. [70][71][72][73][74] For all considered surfaces of WN, ReN, AuN and PtN, significant distortion of the surface atoms is observed during relaxation and thus these nitrides are considered unstable and eliminated from further study. In total, this first consideration reduces the number of potential catalysts from 104 to 21.…”

“…Only the most stable facet was studied in detail for catalytic activity, which in all cases was either the rocksalt (100) or zinc blende (110) facet. In reality, in the manufacturing of these (electro)­catalysts, a multifaceted structure is more probable than a single-crystal catalyst, even for metal nitrides grown with thin film techniques. Therefore, consideration of other crystallographic textures of these promising nitride catalysts is necessary to gain a realistic insight into the catalytic properties, selectivity, and stability of these metal nitride catalysts.…”

“…The most active and selective nitride surfaces that catalyze nitrogen activation to ammonia electrochemically at ambient conditions and relatively small overpotentials turned out to be the RS(100) facets [4,14]. However, the RS(111) facets of earlier TMNs are also one of the most prevalent texture orientations when characterizing the manufactured TMN surfaces [18][19][20][21] and those deserve a detailed theoretical investigation for their NER activity.…”
