Nitrogenases are responsible for biological nitrogen fixation, a crucial step in the
biogeochemical nitrogen cycle. These enzymes utilize a two-component protein system and …

Transition metal–sulfur (M–S) compounds are an indispensable means for biological
systems to convert N2 into NH3 (biological N2 fixation), and these may have emerged by …

High initial coulombic efficiency is highly desired because it implies effective interface
construction and few electrolyte consumption, indicating enhanced batteries' life and power …

This review surveys the synthesis and reactivity of low-oxidation state metalate anions of the
d-block elements, with an emphasis on contributions reported between 2006 and 2022 …

Holding ultralong cycle life and superior rate capability with high specific capacity is an
inevitable requirement for the practical applications of transition metal compounds battery …

Artificial photosynthetic nitrogen reduction reaction (photo-NRR) represents a more
sustainable strategy beyond Haber-Bosch chemistry for N 2 fixation. Overcoming the kinetic …

The electrification of ammonia synthesis is a key target for its decentralization and lowering
impact on atmospheric CO2 concentrations. The lithium metal electrochemical reduction of …

The FeMo cofactor (FeMoco) of Mo nitrogenase is responsible for reducing dinitrogen to
ammonia, but it requires the addition of 3–4 e–/H+ pairs before N2 even binds. A binding …

We disclose a 1, 4, 7-triazacyclononane (TACN) ligand featuring an appended boron Lewis
acid. Metalation with Cu (I) affords a series of tetrahedral complexes including a boron …

Both biological and industrial nitrogen reduction catalysts activate N2 at multinuclear
binding sites with constrained Fe–Fe distances. This contrasts with molecular diiron …
