Abstract

Due to their special physicochemical properties, organic–inorganic hybrid perovskite quantum dots (OIP QDs) are ideal and potential catalysts for the nitrogen reduction reaction (NRR). However, the OIP QD-based NRR is limited by poor water resistance, competitive suppression by the hydrogen evolution reaction, and inefficient active sites on the catalyst surfaces. Herein, to ensure an efficient NRR in aqueous solution, a water-resistant polycarbonate-part-encapsulated heterojunction of Zn,PtIV co-doped PbO-MAPbBr3 (PtIV/Zn/PbO/PC-Zn/MAPbBr3) is prepared through one-step electrospray-based microdroplet synthesis. Confirmed by both experimental and theoretical examinations, PbO is exposed on the PC-part-encapsulated surface to construct a Type I heterojunction. This heterojunction is further improved by synergistic co-doping with PtIV to facilitate efficient electron transfer for efficient photocatalysis of the NRR. Due to the active sites of the d-orbital electron-deficient Pt atoms (exhibiting a lower reaction energy barrier and highly selective N2 adsorption), the ammonia yield rate is 40 times higher than that without doping. This work initiates and develops on the application of OIP QDs in the NRR.
