Interfacial Polarization Triggered by Single Atoms Boosts N2 Electroreduction

The efficient cleavage of the N≡N bond is vital to N₂ fixation but remains challenging. In this issue of Chem, Zhang and co-workers report that the interfacial polarization fields triggered by protrusion-shaped Fe single atoms on monolayer MoS₂ can promote N≡N splitting via electron injection, resulting in a praiseworthy nitrogen electroreduction.
