Embedded carbon dot mediator in a Ce-MoO 3− x heterojunction for improved visible-light-driven N 2 fixation: performance and interfacial activation mechanism

Puntos clave

• Nitrogen photo-fixation is significantly enhanced through the use of a heterojunction featuring embedded carbon dots.
• The introduced heterostructure improves ammonia synthesis performance, marking a step forward in green chemistry initiatives.
• Observational analysis of interfacial activation mechanism reveals key insights into the enhanced performance of the heterojunction.
• The findings indicate potential for large-scale application in sustainable nitrogen fixation methods.
