Understanding potential-dependent competition between electrocatalytic dinitrogen and proton reduction reactions

Practical electrochemical N2 reduction reaction is challenged by competing side reactions. Here a combination of DFT and mikrokinetic modelling reveals the potential-dependent competition between electrochemical ammonia production and hydrogen evolution on a single-site iron catalyst embedded in N-d...
