Synergistic N/F Dual-Doped MoC/C Catalyst Synthesized via Liquid Phase Plasma for Sustainable Ammonia Production.

ABSTRACT: NH₃ is a versatile solution for the storage and distribution of sustainable energy, offering high energy density and promising applications as a renewable hydrogen carrier. However, electrochemical NH₃ synthesis under ambient conditions remains challenging, such as low selectivity and efficiency, owing to the inertness of N≡N and competing reactions. In this study, a catalyst (MoC/NFC) comprising molybdenum carbide evenly dispersed on carbon doped with N and F heteroatoms was successfully synthesized using liquid-phase plasma. The MoC/NFC catalyst exhibited a maximum NH₃ yield of 115 μg h^-1 mg^-1_cat. with a faradaic efficiency of 1.15% at -0.7 V vs reversible hydrogen electrode in 0.1 M KOH electrolyte.
