Transition Metal Chalcogenides: Perspectives on Their Applications for Nitrate Reduction

ChemistryOpen, Volume 15, Issue 9, September 2026.
This review paper reports the syntheses, properties, and applications of TMCs for electrochemical reduction of nitrate to ammonia. Various studies revealed that the conversion of nitrate to ammonia is principally the electrocatalytic hydrogenation of nitrate and the rate and yield of ammonia is competitively challenged by hydrogen evolution reaction ...
