Developing single-atom catalysts (SACs) for electrochemical devices is a frontier in energy conversion.The comparison of stability,activity and selectivity between various single atoms is one of the main research focuses in SACs.However,the in-depth understanding of the role that the coordination atoms of single atom play in the catalytic process is lacking.Herein,we proposed a graphene-like boroncarbon-nitride (BCN) monolayer as the support of single metal atom.The electrocatalytic nitrogen reduction reaction (eNRR) performances of 3d,4d transition metal (TM) atoms embedded in defective BCN were systematically investigated by means of density functional theory (DFT) computations.Our study shows that the TM-to-N and B-to-N π-back bonding can contribute to the activation of N2.Importantly,a combined effect is revealed between single TM atom and boron atom on eNRR: TM atom enhances the nitrogen reduction process especially in facilitating the N2 adsorption and the NH3 desorption,while boron atom modulates the bonding strength of key intermediates by balancing the charged species.Furthermore,Nb@BN3 possesses the highest electrocatalytic activity with limiting potential of-0.49 V,and exhibits a high selectivity for nitrogen reduction reaction (NRR) to ammonia compared with hydrogen evolution reaction (HER).As such,this work can stimulate a research doorway for designing multi-active sites of the anchored single atoms and the innate atoms of substrate based on the mechanistic insights to guide future eNRR research.

为解决焦炉煤气制LNG、甲醇等项目中预加氢、一级加氢、二级加氢样品中硫化物检测组分浓度差异大使得部分硫化物需要稀释进样的问题,采用价格低、普及性高的火焰光度检测器及填充柱气相色谱仪,通过减小定量环、改造信号放大组件、分段拟合等手段将直接进样检测焦炉煤气中形态硫的质量浓度检测范围拓宽至2.86~142.86 mg/m3。结果表明,在上述范围内一定浓度梯度进行复测,所得数据线性相关性高,满足相关标准要求。同时,该方法还能避免因焦炉煤气中各形态硫组分浓度差异大所造成的稀释后部分硫化物浓度过
