Abstract
a reversible hydrogen electrode under ambient conditions. The characterization results and electrochemical studies disclosed that nitrogen vacancies in the MoN-NV nanosheets played a critical role in the enhanced electrocatalytic activity for NRR. Furthermore, the recycling tests confirmed the stability of the catalyst during NRR electrolysis.
