Vanadium oxynitrides as stable catalysts for electrochemical reduction of nitrogen to ammonia: the role of oxygen
Jaysree Pan, Heine Anton Hansen, Tejs Vegge
Abstract
The computational study of vanadium oxynitride (VON) establishes the nitrogen reduction pathway in oxynitrides and the mixed anions' role, leading to improved stability of the active surface-states, activity, and selectivity over hydrogen evolution.
