通过电化学反应将氮气(N

The electrochemical conversion of nitrogen (N
2
) and water (H
2
O) into ammonia (NH
3
) under normal temperature and pressure conditions is a green and environmentally friendly method of ammonia synthesis. However
because N
2
has a very high chemical inertness
an electrocatalyst must be used to accelerate the kinetic process of the reaction. In this paper
we use density functional theory calculations to reveal that AuP
2
a new type of two-dimensional inorganic material
has good catalytic activity for the electrochemical reduction of N
2
to NH
3
. In the two-dimensional AuP
2
material
significant charge transfer occurs between Au and P atoms due to the difference in electronegativity
so that positively charged P can be used as an active site to promote nitrogen reduction. Our calculations show that the rate-determining step of the entire reaction is the process of generating

NNH from N

with a limiting voltage of 1.2 V
and the catalytic activity can be comparable to some metal catalysts. This work provides new ideas for the design of high-efficiency nitrogen reduction electrocatalysts.
