Electrochem. NH3 synthesis by the N reduction reaction (NRR) using an economically efficient electrocatalyst can provide a substitute for the Haber-Bosch process. However, identification of active sites responsible for the origin of catalytic activity in transition metal phthalocyanine is a difficult task due to its complex structure. Herein, d. functional theory (DFT) is applied to identify the probable active sites of Ni phthalocyanine (NiPc) for the NRR as well as the origin of catalytic activity which is associated with the d band center and d. of states (DOS) of Ni in NiPc. Accordingly, NiPc nanorods (NRs), synthesized by a solvothermal method in large scale, exhibit an NH3 yield rate â?5μg h-1 mgcat-1 and a faradaic efficiency (FE) of 25% at -0.3 V vs. RHE. Also, the catalyst shows long term stability up to 30 h while maintaining the NH3 yield and FE. The isotopic labeling experiment and other control study led to validation of the N source in NH3 formation. This study provides brand new insightful understanding of the active sites and the origin of the catalytic activity of NiPc for their NRR applications.
