ABSTRACT
Electrochemical nitrate (NO3-) reduction reaction (NO3RR) possesses two-pronged properties for sustainable ammonia (NH3) synthesis and mitigating NO3- contamination in water. However, the sluggish kinetics for the direct eight-electron NO3--to-NH3 conversion makes a formidable challenge to develop efficient electrocatalysts. Herein, we report a heterostructure of Co3O4 nanosheets decorated TiO2 nanobelt array on titanium plate (Co3O4@TiO2/TP) as an efficient NO3RR electrocatalyst. Both experimental and density theory calculations reveal that the heterostructure of Co3O4@TiO2 establishes a built-in electric field which can optimize the electron migration kinetics, as well as facilitate the adsorption and fixation of NO3- on the electrode surface, ensuring the selectivity to NH3. As expected, the designed Co3O4@TiO2/TP exhibits a remarkable Faradaic efficiency of 93.1 % and a remarkable NH3 yield as high as 875 µmol h-1 cm-2, superior to Co3O4/TP and TiO2/TP. Significantly, it also demonstrates strong electrochemical durability.
