Plasma-etching enhanced titanium oxynitride active phase with high oxygen content for ambient electrosynthesis of ammonia

Here we report that the plasma-etching processed commercial titanium nitride (TiN-PE, PE represents plasma-etching) that was first treated by ball-milling method (TiNBM, BM represents ball-milling) is highly electrochemically active for the nitrogen (N2) reduction reaction (NRR) to NH3. The results...
