Dalian Institute of Chemical Technology achieves high-efficiency electrochemical nitrogen fixation through dual monoatomic sub-nano reactors

Recently, the team of Researcher Liu Jian from the Micro and Nano Reactor and Reaction Engineering Research Group (Group 05T7) of our institute cooperated with the team of Professor Liang Ji from Tianjin University and the team of Professor Sun Chenghua from Swinburne University of Technology in Australia.

Single-atom catalysts have broad application prospects in the field of electrocatalysis due to their maximum utilization of active materials

In this work, researchers have proposed a sub-nanospace confinement strategy, which uses the regular surface cavities of the unique microenvironment of graphitized carbon nitride to precisely confine Fe-Cu single atoms and regulate their geometric configuration.

Jian Liu’s team has been committed to in-depth research on the basic theories of catalysis in micro/nano reactors for a long time to achieve precise positioning of active components in nano reactors

The above work was recently published on Advanced Materials
