Abstract
We use metallic MoS2 as a catalyst for N2 fixation and NH3 generation. Based on the current literature with regard to MoS2 catalytic performance for NH3 generation, it is tracking with catalytic performance for hydrogen evolution. For example, if you increase edge sites with 2D MoS2 structuring or incorporate more vacancies/defect sites, the hydrogen evolution reaction improves. The same is true of NH3 formation. If we take this one step further, hydrogen generation further increases if MoS2 is converted to its thermodynamically unstable metallic state. Therefore, we extend this correlation to NH3 generation. We expect that the N2 fixation and NH3 generation will improve if we use metallic MoS2 nanosheets. This hypothesis is tested and reported. We will also comment on the selectivity for the H2 versus NH3 generation from this catalyst.
