Electrochemical N fixation is considered to be a promising alternative to Haber-Bosch technology. Inspired by the composition and structure of natural nitrogenase, Fe-doped VS nanosheets were prepared via one-step solvothermal method. The electron transfer system mediated by organic conductive polymer (1-AAQ-PA) was constructed to promote the electron transfer between Fe-VS nanosheets and the electrode in electrocatalytic N reduction reaction (NRR).

The assemblies are characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, photoluminescence, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. Fe as a reduction cocatalyst are deposited on surface of monoclinic BiVO decahedron supersturcture.

The prepared materials are characterized by X-ray diffraction transient-state photoluminescence spectra, transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and electrochemical experiment. These results show that the ternary composite material has longer lifetime of photogenerated carriers and more active sites, thereby enhancing photocatalytic performance.

The prepared materials are characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, photoluminescence, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The results show that the ternary heterojunctions doped with Ti are formed, meanwhile, Ag nanoparticle and MoS nanosheets are anchored on surface of TiO nanobelts simultaneously.

The HO produced by photocatalysis could form the photo-Fenton system when combined with FeO under light illumination. The introduction of Ag nanoparticles could induce the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR), which provides "hot electrons" for promoting photocatalysis.
