Abstract
Electrochemical nitrogen reduction reaction (NRR) to ammonia (NH3 ) using renewable electricity provides a promising approach towards carbon neutral. What's more, it has been regarded as the most promising alternative to the traditional Haber-Bosch route in current context of developing sustainable technologies. The development of a class of highly efficient electrocatalysts with high selectivity and stability is the key to electrochemical NRR. Among them, P-block metal-based electrocatalysts have significant application potential in NRR for which possessing a strong interaction with the N 2p orbitals. Thus, it offers a good selectivity for NRR to NH3 . The density of state (DOS) near the Fermi level is concentrated for the P-block metal-based catalysts, indicating the ability of P-block metal as active sites for N2 adsorption and activation by donating p electrons. In this work, we systematically review the recent progress of P-block metal-based electrocatalysts for electrochemical NRR. The effect of P-block metal-based electrocatalysts on the NRR activity, selectivity and stability are discussed. Specifically, the catalyst design, the nature of the active sites of electrocatalysts and some strategies for boosting NRR performance, the reaction mechanism, and the impact of operating conditions are unveiled. Finally, some challenges and outlooks using P-block metal-based electrocatalysts are proposed.
