Abstract
Fe-doped MnO<sub>2</sub> shows excellent NRR behaviour including a high faradaic efficiency of 16.8%, a high NH<sub>3</sub> formation rate of 39.2 μg h<sup>−1</sup> mg<sub>cat.</sub><sup>−1</sup> at −0.29 V <italic>vs.</italic> the reversible hydrogen electrode in 0.1 M Na<sub>2</sub>SO<sub>4</sub>, and good stability.
