Periodic Table Exploration of MXenes for Efficient Electrochemical Nitrate Reduction to Ammonia.

ABSTRACT: Applying electrochemical nitrate reduction reaction (NO₃RR) to produce ammonia offers a sustainable alternative to the energy-intensive Haber-Bosch process, which is crucial for clean energy and agricultural applications. While 2D MXenes hold great promise as electrocatalysts for NO₃RR, their application for ammonia production remains underexplored. This study combines experimental and theoretical approaches to evaluate the catalytic performance of a series of MXenes with different central metal atoms for NO₃RR. Among the materials studied (Ti₃C₂T_x, Ti₃CNT_x, Ti₂CT_x, V₂CT_x, Cr₂CT_x, Nb₂CT_x, and Ta₂CT_x</
