Atomically Dispersed Molybdenum Catalysts for Efficient Ambient Nitrogen Fixation

Electrocatalytic N₂ reduction under ambient conditions offers a promising carbon‐free strategy toward clean and sustainable NH₃ production. In their Communication (DOI: 10.1002/anie.201811728), J. Luo, R. R. Adzic, H. L. Xin et al. report single molybdenum atoms anchored on nitrogen‐doped porous carbon. The catalyst achieves a high NH₃ yield rate, Faradaic efficiency, and stability at room temperature because of a high density of active sites within a hierarchically porous carbon framework.
