Abstract
ABSTRACT Nitrate electroreduction reaction (NO 3 − RR) offers a promising solution to address excessive nitrate emissions by converting them into either environmentally benign dinitrogen or useful ammonia. Bimetallic catalysts, such as CuPd, have been recognized to be active for NO 3 − RR. However, the product discrepancies over bimetallic catalysts hinder further rational construction, largely owing to the poor understanding of how atomic‐level surface structures precisely control post‐NO reduction pathways via crucial intermediates binding. Herein, we take CuPd as model bimetallic catalysts with ordered (o‐CuPd) and phase‐segregated (p‐CuPd) architectures, featuring Cu‐Pd hetero‐motifs and Cu‐Cu/Pd‐Pd…
