Abstract Electrochemical nitrate reduction reaction (NO 3 RR) can effectively alleviate pollution and simultaneously realize ammonia electrosynthesis at room temperature. However, it remains a significant challenge for NO RR to achieve high Faradic efficiency in full concentration range. Herein, nanoflower‐like copper‐palladium alloy/CuO heterostructure (CuPd/CuO@NF) is successfully fabricated by the hydrothermal synthesis of CuO nanoflowers subsequent formation CuPd alloy. The as‐obtained CuPd/CuO@NF exhibits remarkable electrochemical performance − ‐N range from 20 1400 ppm, especially with conversion rate 97.8% NH selectivity 99.3% 94.2% yield 1.37 mmol h −1 cm −2 ppm. In‐situ Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy Raman spectra reveal that first catalyzes 2 , which rapidly reduced forming *NH, *NH OH intermediates. Density functional theory calculations suggest NHO route thermodynamically favorable. When applied zinc‐nitrate battery, demonstrates maximum power density 53.7 mW 99.9% 94.4%. This work offers valuable insights into design novel electrocatalysts batteries.

Abstract Electrochemically promoted nitrate reduction reaction (NITRR) holds great potential for the “green” synthesis of ammonia (NH 3 ). However, NITRR in neutral media, though close to practical scenario, is often limited by an insufficient supply active hydrogen (*H) due sluggish water cleavage. In this work, it demonstrated that a bimetallic alloy FeIr can optimize trade‐off between and *H formation media. As result, exhibits excellent catalytic performance toward with Faradaic efficiency NH up 97.3% high yield rate 11.67 mg h −1 cm −2 at low working −0.6 V (versus reversible electrode (RHE)), surpassing monometallic catalysts as well majority Fe‐based state‐of‐the‐art. It also found displays remarkable electron rearrangement hetero‐atoms their significant orbital hybridization, which benefits not only but process. Moreover, coupling FeIr‐based methanol oxidation (MOR) results sustainable productions formate combined FE nearly 200% cell‐voltage 2 V. This work thus demonstrates promising strategy designing efficient NITRR.

Abstract Electrocatalytic nitrate reduction to ammonia (NRA) offers an arousing route for converting widespread pollutant under mild conditions. Among other NRA catalysts, single‐atom catalyst (SAC) has emerged as a promising candidate due its numerous advantages such maximum metal‐atom‐utilization efficiency, homogeneous and tailorable active sites, which still encounters formidable challenge accelerate the kinetics simultaneously suppress competitive hydrogen evolution reaction, especially when operated in electrolytes with low concentration nitrate. Herein, general strategy is reported prepare defect‐enriched coordination polymer catalysts featuring well‐defined unsaturated metal can exhibit exceptional performance even at surpass SACs toward catalysis. Taking cobalt (Co) example, Co‐based polymers (d‐CoCP) counterpart CoCP without defects are investigated proof‐of‐concept study. Both experimental theoretical results elucidate that elaborately‐engineered d‐CoCP markedly decrease thermodynamic barrier reducing *NO *HNO rate‐limiting step along pathway, thus accelerating adsorption of promoting kinetics.
