Designing atomically dispersed metal catalysts for the nitrogen reduction reaction (NRR) is an effective approach to achieve better energy conversion efficiencies. In this study, we designed a series of single molybdenum (Mo) atom-anchored porous two-dimensional Mo porphyrin (2D Mo-Pp) monolayers modified by B, C, O, P and S as efficient NRR catalysts to improve the catalytic performance. We introduced two key parameters, θ (pz orbital filling of heteroatoms) and φ (Bader charge of central Mo atoms). It shows that θ and φ play important roles in nitrogen absorption by analyzing the regression models. In particular, the theoretical results suggested that the 2D Mo-Pp monolayer modified by B has an ultralow limiting potential of 0.35 V and can suppress the hydrogen evolution reaction, making the 2D Mo-Pp monolayer modified by B a promising NRR electrocatalyst with high efficiency and selectivity. This work provides insights into the rational design of the elaborate structure of single-atom catalysts with tunable electrocatalytic activities.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
