In-Situ Construction of MoO2 /In2O3 Heterostructures to Accelerate Reaction Kinetics for Electrocatalytic Nitrogen Reduction

Abstract

Electrochemical nitrogen reduction to NH3 offers a sustainable alternative to the energy-intensive Haber-Bosch process, but suffer from sluggish kinetics. Herein, we report MoO2/In2O3 Heterostructured nanorod achieving a high NH3 yield (23.42 µg h-1 cm-2) and Faradaic efficiency (35.59%), with 3.8-fold enhanced reaction kinetics versus bare In2O3.
