ABSTRACT
Surface regulation is an effective strategy to improve the performance of catalysts, but it has been rarely demonstrated for nitrogen reduction reaction (NRR) to date. Now, surface-rough Rh2 Sb nanorod (RNR) and surface-smooth Rh2 Sb NR (SNR) were selectively created, and their performance for NRR was investigated. The high-index-facet bounded Rh2 Sb RNRs/C exhibit a high NH3 yield rate of 228.85±12.96â
µg h-1 mg-1 Rh at -0.45â
V versus reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE), outperforming the Rh2 Sb SNRs/C (63.07±4.45â
µg h-1 mg-1 Rh ) and Rh nanoparticles/C (22.82±1.49â
µg h-1 mg-1 Rh ), owing to the enhanced adsorption and activation of N2 on high-index facets. Rh2 Sb RNRs/C also show durable stability with negligible activity decay after 10â
h of successive electrolysis. The present work demonstrates that surface regulation plays an important role in promoting NRR activity and provides a new strategy for creating efficient NRR electrocatalysts.
