Implication

This research reveals how photocatalytic nitrogen reduction improves ammonia yield without sacrificial agents, suggesting a breakthrough in solar-driven fertilizer production.

Key Points

The optimized Fe-S cluster catalyst achieves high ammonia production rates of 1287.6 µmol h−1 g−1 without the need for sacrificial agents.
Enhanced photocatalytic performance results from synergistic effects of dual active sites, leading to efficient nitrogen reduction under ambient air conditions.
Experimentation validates practical effectiveness under natural sunlight, indicating the potential of this approach for sustainable fertilizer applications.
This work advances the design of bioinspired catalysts, offering a novel pathway for solar-to-chemical energy conversion in nitrogen fixation.
