Defect-rich fluorographene behaves as a metal-free catalyst for the artificial conversion of N2 to NH3 at ambient conditions. In 0.1 M Na2SO4, it achieves a faradaic efficiency (FE) of 4.2% with an NH3 formation rate (RNH3) of 9.3 μg h−1 mgcat.−1 at −0.7 V vs. RHE, with strong long-term electrochemical durability.

Abstract Compared with the traditional Haber-Bosch process, electrochemical N2-to-NH3 reduction affords an eco-friendly and sustainable alternative to ambient NH3 synthesis with the aid of efficient electrocatalysts. In this work, partial oxidation of MnS to obtain the MnS-Mn3O4 is proved as a promising noble-free electrocatalysts of N2to NH3 fixation at ambient conditions. When tested in 0.1 M Na2SO4, the electrochemical N2 reduction reaction performance of MnS-Mn3O4 is improved comparing with the MnS, which achieves large NH3 yield of 16.74 μg h–1 mgcat.–1 and a high Faradaic efficiency of 5.72%. It also exhibits excellent selectivity of N2-to-NH3 and strong long-term electrochemical stabil
