Electrocatalytic reduction of nitrate to NH3 (NO3RR) on Cu offers sustainable production and nitrogen recycling from nitrate-contaminated water. However, affords limited NO3RR activity owing its unfavorable electronic state the slow proton transfer surface, especially in neutral/alkaline media. Furthermore, although a synchronous "NO3RR collection" system has been developed for nitrate-laden water, no is designed natural water that generally contains low-concentration nitrate.
