Provoked by SAC-mediated decline in NRR interfacial energy barrier, we therefore pursued whether SACs expedite NRR via interfacial polarization. The theoretical feasibility is supported by the vast electrostatic potential difference between SACs and N2 when a sufficient EF was applied (Figures 3A, S45, S46, and S47). Quantitative analysis of this polarization field gives a magnitude of 17.92 eV (Figure 3B), outcompeting N2 ionization potential (15.84 eV). Electrons from SAC protrusions are driven by this field, 36% to N≡N and 60% to the zone between SACs and N2 (Figure 3C). Efficient N2 scission occurs as a consequence of electrons encompassing and thus attacking N2 cadre. As comparison, for pure and nanocluster-interspersed MoS2, rare electrons reach N2 owing to their respective curvature-free and curvature-marginal features that generate insufficient polarization.This work was financially supported by National Natural Science Funds for Distinguished Young Scholars of China (21425728), National Science Foundation of China (51472100), and the 111 Project (B17019).
