Splicing the active phases of copper/cobalt-based catalysts achieves high-rate tandem electroreduction of nitrate to ammonia

Nature Communications, 2022
Electrocatalytic recycling of waste nitrate to NH3 under ambient conditions maybe an appealing alternative to the Haber−Bosch process. Here the authors report a tandem catalyst system involving cooperative adsorption of reaction intermediate on different

Salting-out effect promoting highly efficient ambient ammonia synthesis

Nature Communications, 2021
The electroreduction of nitrogen to ammonia offers a promising alternative to the Haber–Bosch process but suffers from low activity and selectivity. Here, authors demonstrate that triggering a salting-out effect in a highly concentrated electrolyte can ...

Looking for Options to Sustainably Fixate Nitrogen. Are Molecular Metal Oxides Catalysts a Viable Avenue?

Frontiers in Chemistry, 2021
Fast and reliable industrial production of ammonia (NH3) is fundamentally sustaining modern society. Since the early 20th Century, NH3 has been synthesized via the Haber–Bosch process, running at conditions of around 350–500°C and 100–200 times ...

Carbon‐Confined Fe3C/Fe3N Janus Interfaces for Selective Nitric Oxide‐to‐Ammonia Electroreduction

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
A defect‐rich, graphitic‐carbon‐confined Fe3C/Fe3N Janus catalyst integrates NO transport, adsorption/activation, and interfacial H supply for efficient nitric oxide electroreduction to ammonia. Built from earth‐abundant elements, this architecture enables high‐yield and high‐efficiency NH3 synthesis while valorizing industrial NO emissions.

Direct Solar Power‐Driven Durable Ammonia Electrosynthesis From Nitrate Under Fluctuating Voltage Conditions

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Isolated Sn sites on Cu(111) induce a highly asymmetric charge distribution, which promotes water dissociation, accelerates key intermediate hydrogenation, and suppresses competing hydrogen evolution. As a result, SnCu111 delivers NH3 Faradaic efficiencies above 90% over an 800 mV potential window and enables stable direct solar power‐driven NH3 ...

Acceptor‐Doped Cerium Oxides Enabling Metallic Nanocatalyst Exsolution for Hydrogen Production From Ammonia

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Outstanding catalytic results for NH3 decomposition for H2 production were obtained with metallic Ru, Rh, and RuRh nanoparticle‐exsolved CeO2‐based catalysts. Significant lower amounts of available superficial metallic fractions were needed in comparison to conventional Ru‐impregnated materials.
