NiFeB-assisted adsorption and activation of nitrogen to improve the photooxidation activity of zinc porphyrin

Chem Commun (Camb). 2024 Apr 16;60(32):4298-4301. doi: 10.1039/d4cc00249k.

Abstract

This study effectively addresses the challenge of nitrogen adsorption and activation in photocatalytic nitrogen fixation by introducing an oxidizing co-catalyst, NiFeB hydroxides. The NiFeB hydroxides could provide reactive active sites and significantly enhance the nitrogen oxidation activity, offering a novel pathway for co-catalysts in nitrogen fixation reactions.
