A strong metal–support interaction strategy for enhanced binder-free electrocatalytic nitrate reduction

Abstract

Electrocatalytic nitrate reduction reaction (NO3RR) is an attractive strategy to maintain the nitrogen neutral. Iron nanoparticles (Fe NPs) is one of the most promising electrocatalysts for NO3RR with low cost...

Ethanol combustion-assisted fast synthesis of tri-metal oxides with reduced graphene oxide for superior overall water splitting performance

“…The multilevel structure effectively enlarged the surface area and improved the porosity of the electrocatalyst, which is beneficial for the exposure of more active sites. 25–27…”

Engineering interfacial architectures toward nitrate electrocatalysis and nitrogen neutral cycle

“…Designing metal-carbon hetero-interfaces is an effective approach to enhance charge transfer and conductivity for enhancing eNO 3 RR performance owing to the strong d-p interactions between metal nanoparticles (NPs) and carbon supports. [82][83][84] In a recent study by Yang et al, an in situ confinement strategy was employed to construct efficient single-metal/bimetallic electrocatalysts for sustainable NO 3 À reduction. 85 Ultra-small CuPd alloy nanoparticles were effectively dispersed and confined within mesoporous carbon nanotubes@mesoporous carbon substrates (CNTs@mesoC@CuPd) through a facile molecular-mediated interface assembly method (Fig.…”

Organic Electrode Materials for Dual‐Ion Batteries

“…According to the prediction of researchers, the energy demand resulting from human social activities is expected to double from the current 14 TW (1 TW = 10 12 W) to 2050, which is equivalent to 10 10 tons of oil. [1] In order to reduce the demand for fossil fuels thus reducing the emissions of CO 2 , [2][3][4] excess nitrate (NO 3 À ) [5][6][7][8] and microplastics, [9,10] many new renewable green and clean energies, such as solar energy, [11] tidal energy, [12] wind energy, [13] geothermal energy, [14] nuclear energy [15] and hydrogen energy [16][17][18] , have received increasing attention. However, these renewable energy resources are intermittent and unstable, which puts forward higher requirement for energy storage and conversion equipment.…”
