Revisiting group 4–7 transition metals for heterogeneous ammonia synthesis
Group 4–7 metals are usually inactive for NH3 synthesis catalysis and have gained far less attention as compared to Fe and Ru. This mini-review discusses potential strategies to activate these metals, aiming to find novel catalysts for NH3 synthesis.

Multichannel nitrogen-doped carbon fiber confined Fe3C nanoparticles for efficient electroreduction of nitrate
A novel 1D hierarchical architecture with dispersed Fe3C nanoparticles confined in multichannel nitrogen-doped carbon fibers (Fe3C/MNCFs) is reported as efficient NO3RR electrocatalyst. The Fe3C/MNCFs-800 demonstrates the nitrate conversion of 90.9%, N2 selectivity of 99.53%, for up to 15 cycles.
