Even though the well-established Haber-Bosch process has been the major artificial way to 'fertilize' the earth, its energy-intensive nature has been motivating people to learn from nitrogenase, which can fix atmospheric N<inf>2</inf>to NH<inf>3</inf>in vivo under mild conditions with its precisely arranged proteins. Here we demonstrate that efficient fixation of N<inf>2</inf>to NH<inf>3</inf>can proceed under room temperature and atmospheric pressure in water using visible light illuminated BiOBr nanosheets of oxygen vacancies in the absence of ...
