Single-atom Cu anchored on Mo2C boosts nitrite electroreduction to ammonia
Literature Information
Guohui Wang, Ruiyuan Ma, Nana Zhang, Yali Guo, Ke Chu
We design single-atom Cu anchored on Mo2C (Cu1/Mo2C) as an effective electrocatalyst towards electrochemical nitrite reduction to ammonia (NO2RR), exhibiting an NH3-faradaic efficiency of 91.5% with a corresponding NH3 yield rate of 472.9 μmol h−1 cm−2 at −0.6 V vs. RHE. Theoretical computations unravel that single-atomic Cu couples with the surface Mo atom of Mo2C to enable the construction of Cu–Mo dual-active centers, which can synergistically activate NO2− and minimize the NO2−-to-NH3 reaction energy barrier, whilst suppressing the competing hydrogen evolution reaction.
