英文摘要	Due to the rather high 940.95 kJ mol(-1)thermodynamic cleavage energy of the N-N triple bond, developing a robust catalytic process for N(2)reduction under mild conditions is a continuing scientific challenge. Here, 2D MXene-derived niobium pentoxide/carbon/niobium carbide/graphite-like carbon nitride (Nb2O5/C/Nb2C/g-C3N4) heterojunctions were explored as photocatalysts for N(2)reduction in water. Nb2O5/C/Nb2C/g-C(3)N(4)heterojunctions were prepared by uniformly growing Nb(2)O(5)on Nb2C and then forming g-C(3)N(4)nanosheetsin situon Nb2O5/C/Nb2C. With an optimized Nb2O5/C/Nb2C : g-C(3)N(4)ratio of 1 : 1, Nb2O5/C/Nb2C/g-C(3)N(4)showed a high nitrogen reduction rate (0.365 mmol h(-1)g(cat)(-1)), which was 9.1 times as high as that of the MXene derived Nb2O5/g-C(3)N(4)composite. It is worth mentioning that the enhanced performance of Nb2O5/C/Nb2C/g-C(3)N(4)should be attributed to the enhancement in photogenerated electron and hole separation efficiency caused by the short-range directional charge transmission over the close contact between Nb(2)O(5)and conductive Nb2C as well as the Schottky junction formed at the Nb2O5/Nb2C interface. By further changing the pH of the catalytic system, the concentration of reactive electrons was adjusted and the energy barrier of proton reduction was improved. With the optimized pH of 9 adjusted with NaOH solution, the nitrogen reduction efficiency could be further promoted 2.5 times (0.927 mmol h(-1)g(cat)(-1)).
