Abstract
Abstract The electrochemical nitrate reduction reaction (NO 3 RR) is able to convert nitrate (NO 3 − ) into reusable ammonia (NH 3 ), offering a green treatment and resource utilization strategy of nitrate wastewater and ammonia synthesis. The conversion of NO 3 − to NH 3 undergoes water dissociation to generate active hydrogen atoms and nitrogen‐containing intermediates hydrogenation tandemly. The two relay processes compete for the same active sites, especially under pH‐neutral condition, resulting in the suboptimal efficiency and selectivity in the electrosynthesis of NH 3 from NO 3 − . Herein, we constructed a Cu 1 ‐Fe dual‐site catalyst by anchoring Cu single atoms on amorphous iron oxide shell of…
