Abstract
Novel 2D MXene-derived Nb<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub>/C/Nb<sub>2</sub>C/g-C<sub>3</sub>N<sub>4</sub> showed a high nitrogen reduction rate in water (0.365 mmol h<sup>−1</sup> g<sub>cat</sub><sup>−1</sup>); the nitrogen reduction efficiency could be further promoted 2.5 times (0.927 mmol h<sup>−1</sup> g<sub>cat</sub><sup>−1</sup>) with the optimized pH of 9.
