A cluster-scale CuFe heteroatom ensemble with a multisite interface reinforces electronic interaction to boost ambient ammonia electrosynthesis
Herein, we report a cluster-scale CuFe heteroatom ensemble for electrochemical nitrate reduction to ammonia. The multisite interface reinforces electronic interaction with adsorbates, thus achieving a high NH<sub>3</sub> yield rate of 10.51 mmol h<sup>-1</sup> mg<sup>-1</sup> and Faradaic efficiency of 93.28%, greatly surpassing its pure metal ensemble counterpart.
