Abstract Ammonia (NH 3 ) is recognized as a transportable carrier for renewable energy fuels. Photoelectrochemical nitrate reduction reaction (PEC NO RR) offers sustainable solution nitrate‐rich wastewater treatment by directly converting solar to ammonia. In this study, we demonstrate the highly selective PEC ammonia production from RR constructing CoCu/TiO 2 /Sb Se photocathode.

Thanks to optimal structure in FeCu‐NC catalyst, it shows enhanced half‐wave potential (0.910 V), turnover frequency (0.165e s −1 ), decreased activation energy (19.96 kJ mol ) KOH. The FeCu‐NC‐based AEMFC achieves extremely high kinetic current (0.138 A cm −2 at 0.9 V) rated power density (1.09 W surpassing best‐reported transition metal‐based cathodes. Density functional theory calculations further demonstrate that Cu‐N can break localization Fe‐3d orbitals, accelerate electron transport, optimize OH adsorption, thus facilitating ORR process.

Introducing a second metal species into atomically dispersed metal-nitrogen-carbon (M-N-C) catalysts to construct diatomic sites (DASs) is an effective strategy elevate their activities and stabilities. However, the common pyrolysis-based method usually leads substantial uncertainty for formation of DASs, precise identification resulting DASs also rather difficult. In this regard, we developed two-step specific-adsorption (pyrolysis-free) constructed DAS catalyst featuring FeCo "molecular heterostructures" (FeCo-MHs). order rule out possibility two apparently neighboring (in electron microscopy image) Fe/Co atoms being respectively on top/bottom surfaces carbon support thus forming "false" MHs, conducted in situ rotation (by 8°, far above critical angle 5.3°) directly identified individual FeCo-MHs.
