Boosting Electrocatalytic Nitrate Reduction to Ammonia via Promoting Water Dissociation
Abstract
Electrocatalytic nitrate reduction reaction (NO 3 – RR) opens opportunities for ammonia production. The sluggish kinetics of this multielectron and multiproton process has been regarded as the key issue. Herein, we report a Cu 1 Co 5 alloy for electrocatalytic NO 3 – RR to NH 3 . It achieves a high current density (453 mA cm –2 ) and Faradaic efficiency (96.2%) for NH 3 production at 0.075 V vs RHE, with a half-cell energy efficiency of 44.9%, higher than those of Cu, Co, and other Co-based alloys, and is among the highest value reported. We found that the interaction between Cu and Co reorganizes their electronic structure in alloys. The NO 3 – adsorption switches to a spontaneous process, and the *NO → *N and *NH → *NH 2 processes are promoted. Importantly, the water dissociation process concerted with the transformation of N-species is proven to be rate-determining, which is facilitated on Co sites in the Cu 1 Co 5 alloy and is essential for the enhanced NO 3 – RR. This inspires us a strategy for designing more efficient catalysts for NO 3 – RR under alkaline condition by promoting the H 2 O dissociation process.

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.
