Herein, we demonstrate that the surface anchoring of black phosphorus quantum dots (BPQDs) and bulk iron-doping in W18O49 nanowires significantly promotes the photocatalytic activity toward N-2 fixation into NH3. More specifically, a NH3 production rate of up to 187.6 mu mol g(-1) h(-1) could be achieved, nearly one order of magnitude higher than that of pristine W18O49 (18.9 mu mol g(-1) h(-1)). Comprehensive experiments and density-functional theory calculations reveal that Fe-doping could enhance the reducing ability of photo-generated electrons by decreasing the work function and elevating the defect band (d-band) centers. Additionally, the surface BPQDs anchoring could facilitate the N-2 adsorption/activation owing to the increased adsorption energy and advantaged W-P dimer bonding-mode. Therefore, synergizing the surface BPQD anchoring and bulk Fe-doping remarkably enhanced the photocatalytic activity of W18O49 nanowires for NH3 production.
