Identification of M-NH2 -NH2 Intermediate and Rate Determining Step for Nitrogen Reduction with Bioinspired Sulfur-Bonded FeW Catalyst.


ABSTRACT: The multimetallic sulfur-framework catalytic site of biological nitrogenases allows the efficient conversion of dinitrogen (N2 ) to ammonia (NH3 ) under ambient conditions. Inspired by biological nitrogenases, a bimetallic sulfide material (FeWSx @FeWO4 ) was synthesized as a highly efficient N2 reduction (NRR) catalyst by sulfur substitution of the surface of FeWO4 nanoparticles. Thus prepared FeWSx @FeWO4 catalysts exhibit a relatively high NH3 production rate of 30.2 ug h-1  mg-1 cat and a Faraday efficiency of 16.4 % at -0.45 V versus a reversible hydrogen electrode in a flow cell; these results have been confirmed via purified 15 N2 -isotopic labeling experiments. In situ Raman spectra and hydrazine reduction kinetics analysis revealed that the reduction of undissociated hydrazine intermediates (M-NH2 -NH2 ) on the surface of the bimetallic sulfide catalyst is the rate-determing step for the NRR process. Therefore, this work can provide guidance for elucidating the structure-activity relationship of NRR catalysts.
