Operando electrodeposition of nonprecious metal copper nanocatalysts on low-dimensional support materials for nitrate reduction reactions by Tan, Shu Fen, Roslie, Hany, Salim, Teddy, Han, Zengyu, Wu, Dongshuang, Liang, Caihong, Teo, Lim Fong, Lam, Yeng Ming

“…The electrodeposited Cu on graphene and carbon nanotubes is also observed to show good electrochemical activity toward nitrate reduction reactions (NO3RRs), further supported by density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Nitrogen doping plays an important role in guiding nonprecious metal deposition, but its low electrical conductivity may give rise to lower NO3RR activity compared to its nondoped analogue. …”
