    Abstract
  • Tuning surface electron transfer process by sulfur (S)-vacancies engineering is an efficient strategy to develop high-efficient catalysts for electroreduction N2 reaction (NRR). Herein, the distinct Sb2S3 nanorods with S-vacancies (Sv-Sb2S3) have been synthesized by a simple two-step method including hydrothermal and hydrogenation in H2/Ar atmosphere, which shows improved performance for NRR with the NH3 yield rate of 10.85 μg h-1 mgcat-1 at -0.4 V vs. RHE, the faradaic efficiency (FE) of 3.75% at -0.3 V vs. RHE and excellent stability for 24 h, largely outperforming bulk Sb2S3. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and density function theory (DFT) calculations demonstrate that the abundant S-vacancies can create an electron-deficient environment and modulate the electron delocalization in Sv-Sb2S3, which can not only facilitate the N2 molecule adsorption, but also activate the N≡N, resulting in the enhanced performance for NRR.
