Enhancing Electrocatalytic Nitrogen Oxidation to Nitrate Using MXene-Derived TiO2−x Modified Copper Nanowires

Green synthesis of nitrates (NO3−) through the electrocatalytic nitrogen oxidation reaction (NOR) is a promising artificial nitrogen fixation strategy, showing significant advantages over traditional nitrate synthesis methods based on the Haber-Bosch process and the Oswald process. However, the poor absorbability of nitrogen, the high bond energy of N≡N (941 kJ·mol−1), and the competing multi-electron transfer … Read more
