Elucidating electrochemical nitrate and nitrite reduction over atomically-dispersed transition metal sites

Abstract Electrocatalytic reduction of waste nitrates (NO3 −) enables the synthesis of ammonia (NH3) in a carbon neutral and decentralized manner. Atomically dispersed metal-nitrogen-carbon (M-N-C) catalysts demonstrate a high catalytic activity and uniquely favor mono-nitrogen products. However, th...
