MnNx-graphene作为氮还原反应催化剂的第一性原理研究

Single Manganese Atom Anchored on N-doped Graphene as a Promising Catalyst for Nitrogen Reduction Reaction: A First-Principles Study

  • 摘要: 不同于传统的需要严格条件的哈勃-博世工艺,氨的电化学合成是一种绿色环保的方法. 然而,设计出一种具有高选择性和催化活性的催化剂来裂解N2中牢固的氮氮三键仍然面临艰巨的挑战. 本文从理论计算角度对MnNx-graphene(x=3,4)催化剂催化氮还原反应的几何结构、电子结构、N2吸附强度、反应中间体、吉布斯自由能变化和副产N2H4解吸附等进行了系统研究. 计算结果表明,MnN3-graphene主要通过远端机理表现出优异的催化性能,其电位低至0.49 V,明显低于文献中其他Mn单原子催化剂. 此外,0.27 eV的自由能促进了NH3的脱附,确保了MnN3-graphene出色的催化活性. 本文从理论计算角度为单Mn原子催化剂在氨合成领域的探索提供了理论启示.

     

    Abstract: Electrochemical synthesis of ammonia represents a green and environmentally friendly method distinct from traditional Harper-Bosch processes, which demand stringent conditions. However, identifying a catalyst with high selectivity and catalytic activity to cleave the robust triple bond of N2 remains a formidable challenge. Herein, we present a systematic study on the geometrical and electronic structure, intensity of N2 adsorption, reaction intermediates, change in Gibbs free energy, and desorption of by-product hydrazine for the nitrogen reduction reaction employing a MnNx-graphene (x = 3, 4) catalyst from a theoretical perspective. The computational results reveal that MnN3-graphene exhibits superior catalytic performance predominantly via the distal mechanism, with a low potential of 0.49 V. Moreover, the detachment of the produced NH3 is facilitated with a free energy of only 0.27 eV, significantly lower than those of previous catalysts, ensuring the exceptional durability of MnN3-graphene. This study offers theoretical insights guiding the exploration of single Mn atom catalysts in ammonia synthesis.
