N2-to-NH3 conversion by excess electrons trapped in point vacancies on 5f-element dioxide surfaces
Ammonia (NH3) is one of the basic chemicals in artificial fertilizers and a promising carbon-free energy storage carrier. Its industrial synthesis is typically realized via the Haber−Bosch process using traditional iron-based catalysts. Developing advanced catalysts that can reduce the N2 activation...
