Pulsed Nitrate-to-Ammonia Electroreduction Facilitated by Tandem Catalysis of Nitrite Intermediates
Abstract
Electroreduction of nitrate to ammonia offers a promising pathway for nutrient recycling and recovery from wastewater with energy and environmental sustainability. There have been considerable efforts on the regulation of reaction pathways to facilitate nitrate-to-ammonia conversion over the competing hydrogen evolution reaction but only with limited success. Here, we report a Cu single-atom gel (Cu SAG) electrocatalyst that produces NH 3 from both nitrate and nitrite under neutral conditions. Given the unique mechanism of NO 2 – activation on Cu SAGs with spatial confinement and strengthened kinetics, a pulse electrolysis strategy is presented to cascade the accumulation and conversion of NO 2 – intermediates during NO 3 – reduction with the prohibited competition from the hydrogen evolution reaction, thus substantially enhancing the Faradaic efficiency and the yield rate for ammonia production compared with constant potential electrolysis. This work underlines the cooperative approach of the pulse electrolysis and SAGs with three-dimensional (3D) framework structures for highly efficient nitrate-to-ammonia conversion enabled by tandem catalysis of unfavorable intermediates.

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.
