Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Nitrogen conversion into ammonia is a crucial reaction for many industrial manufacturing processes, but it is a challenging chemical reaction to achieve under ambient conditions. Herein, by using of density functional theory (DFT), we present a conductive metal-organic framework (MOF), which is based on an earth abundant element molybdenum and is used as an electrocatalyst for the nitrogen reduction reaction (NRR). With a highly ordered structure and feasibility in real applications, the Mo-based MOF, among a series newly fabricated 2D MOFs, exhibits an excellent catalytic performance for conversion of N into NH at room temperature with a very low overpotential of 0.18 V. This report provides atomic level insights to experimental researchers that the newly fabricated 2D MOFs with non-noble metals can be used as an efficient electrocatalyst for the NRR under mild conditions.
