We report single yttrium sites anchored on carbon-coated TiO 2 for efficient and stable electrocatalytic N 2 fixation, delivering an NH 3 faradaic efficiency exceeding 11.0% and an NH 3 yield rate as high as 6.3 μg NH 3 h -1 mg cat. -1 at low overpotentials, thus surpassing many reported metal electrocatalysts.
