To reduce the greenhouse effect caused by the surgery of nitrogen-oxides concentration in the atmosphere and develop a future energy carrier of renewables, it is very critical to develop more efficient, controllable, and highly sensitive catalytic materials. In our work, we proposed that nitric oxide (NO), as a supplement to N₂ for the synthesis of ammonia, which is equipped with a lower barrier. And the study highlighted the potential of CeO₂ (111) nanosheets with La doping and oxygen vacancy (OV) as a high-performance, controllable material for NO capture at the site of Vo site, and separation the process of hydrogenation. We also reported that the E_ads of -1.12 eV with horizontal adsorption and the Bader charge of N increasing of 0.53|e| and O increasing of 0.17|e| at the most active site of reduction-OV predicted. It is worth noting that ΔG of NORR (NO reduction reaction) shows good performance (thermodynamically spontaneous reaction) to synthesize ammonia and water at room temperature in the theoretical calculation.
