Electrocatalytic recycling of waste nitrate (NO3-) to valuable ammonia (NH3) at ambient conditions is a green and appealing alternative the Haber-Bosch process. However, reaction requires multi-step electron proton transfer, making it grand challenge drive high-rate NH3 synthesis in an energy-efficient way. Herein, we present design concept tandem catalysts, which involves coupling intermediate phases different transition metals, existing low applied overpotentials, as cooperative active sites that enable cascade NO3--to-NH3 conversion, turn avoiding generally encountered scaling relations. We implement by electrochemical transformation Cu-Co binary sulfides into potential-dependent core-shell Cu/CuOx Co/CoO phases. Electrochemical evaluation, kinetic studies, in-situ Raman spectra reveal inner preferentially catalyze NO3- reduction NO2-, rapidly reduced nearby shell. This unique catalyst system leads Faradaic efficiency 93.3 ± 2.1% wide range concentrations pH 13, high yield rate 1.17 mmol cm-2 h-1 0.1 M -0.175 V vs. RHE, half-cell energy ~36%, surpassing most previous reports.

The electrochemical reduction of CO2 stores intermittent renewable energy in valuable raw materials, such as chemicals and transportation fuels, while minimizing carbon emissions promoting carbon-neutral cycles. Recent technoeconomic reports suggested economically feasible target products electroreduction the relative influence key performance parameters faradaic efficiency (FE), current density, overpotential practical industrial-scale applications. Furthermore, fundamental factors, available reaction pathways, shared intermediates, competing hydrogen evolution reaction, scaling relations intermediate binding energies, mass transport limitations, should be considered relation to performance. Intensive research efforts have been devoted designing developing advanced electrocatalysts improving mechanistic understanding. More recently, focus was extended catalyst environment, because interfacial region can delicately modulate catalytic activity provide effective solutions challenges that were not fully addressed material development studies. Herein, we discuss importance catalyst-electrolyte interfaces operational based on kinetic equations. extensively review previous studies controlling organic modulators, electrolyte ions, electrode structures, well three-phase boundary at interface. modulates electrocatalytic properties via electronic modification, stabilization, proton delivery regulation, structure reactant concentration control, regulation.
