This study effectively addresses the challenge of nitrogen adsorption and activation in photocatalytic nitrogen fixation by introducing an oxidizing co-catalyst, NiFeB hydroxides. The NiFeB hydroxides could provide reactive active sites and significantly enhance the nitrogen oxidation activity, offering a novel pathway for co-catalysts in nitrogen fixation reactions.
