Synergistic Electrocatalytic N₂ Reduction over Asymmetric Heteronuclear Dual Ru-Fe Sites.

ABSTRACT: The scaling relationship limit poses a significant challenge in single-atom catalysts (SACs) for reactions involving multi-intermediate interactions, such as the electrocatalytic nitrogen reduction reaction (eNRR) for ammonia synthesis. To overcome this limitation, a heteronuclear dual Ru-Fe sites on N,S-codoped Ti₃C₂T_x nanosheet (referred to as Fe₁-N^S-Ru₁/Ti₃C₂T_x) with precisely designed asymmetric coordination for eNRR is developed. Advanced characterizations verify the unique asymmetric coordination structure where Ru and Fe atoms are individually coordinated to N and S atoms, respectively, with the two metal centers interconnected via bridging N and S atoms. This catalyst achieves remarkable eNRR p
