Based on the structure of the nitrogenase FeMo cofactor (FeMoco), it is reported that Fe deposited on MoS2 2D sheets exhibits high selectivity towards the spontaneous fixation of N-2 against chemisorption of CO2 and H2O. DFT predictions also indicate the ability of this material to convert N-2 into NH3 with a maximum energy input of 1.02 eV as an activation barrier for the first proton-electron pair transfer.

Abstract
Based on the structure of the nitrogenase FeMo cofactor (FeMoco), it is reported that Fe deposited on MoS2 2D sheets exhibits high selectivity towards the spontaneous fixation of N-2 against chemisorption of CO2 and H2O. DFT predictions also indicate the ability of this material to convert N-2 into NH3 with a maximum energy input of 1.02 eV as an activation barrier for the first proton-electron pair transfer.File in questo prodotto:
