Electrocatalytic Reduction of Nitrate to Ammonia on Low-Cost Ultrathin CoOx Nanosheets
Abstract
The electrochemical nitrate reduction reaction (NITRR) is an appealing method for ammonia synthesis, owing to the ambient conditions as well as its abundant sources, low dissociation energy, and high solubility of nitrate. The hydrogen evolution reaction is a competing process of the NITRR, which should be properly suppressed to achieve a high Faradaic efficiency of the NITRR. Herein, ultrathin CoO x nanosheets with abundant surface oxygen are designed as a low-cost NITRR catalyst, which delivers an ultrahigh ammonia yield of 82.4 4.8 mg h –1 mg cat –1 with a Faradaic efficiency of 93.4 3.8% at −0.3 V versus the reversible hydrogen electrode. Theoretical calculation reveals that the surface oxygen on cobalt sites can stabilize the adsorbed hydrogen on cobalt oxide, which hampers the evolution of hydrogen and leads to an enhanced NITRR activity. This work demonstrates that surface modification plays a critical role in suppressing the HER and facilitating the NITRR through a NHO pathway with a lower energy barrier.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
