We demonstrate the great feasibility of MBenes as a new class tandem catalysts for electrocatalytic nitrate reduction to ammonia (NO3 RR). As proof concept, FeB2 is first employed model MBene catalyst NO3 RR, showing maximum NH3 -Faradaic efficiency 96.8 % with corresponding yield 25.5 mg h-1 cm-2 at -0.6 V vs. RHE. Mechanistic studies reveal that exceptional RR activity arises from catalysis mechanism, is, B sites activate NO3- form intermediates, while Fe dissociate H2 O and increase *H supply on promote intermediate hydrogenation enhance -to-NH3 conversion.

Carbon Oxyanion Self‐Transformation on NiFe Oxalates Enables Long‐Term Ampere‐Level Current Density Seawater Oxidation

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 63(1)

Опубликована: Ноя. 23, 2023

Seawater electrolysis is an attractive way of making H2 in coastal areas, and NiFe-based materials are among the top options for alkaline seawater oxidation (ASO). However, ample Cl- can severely corrode catalytic sites lead to limited lifespans. Herein, we report that situ carbon oxyanion self-transformation (COST) from oxalate carbonate on a monolithic NiFe micropillar electrode allows safeguard high-valence metal reaction ASO. In situ/ex studies show spontaneous, timely, appropriate COST safeguards active against attack during ASO even at ampere-level current density (j). Our catalyst shows efficient stable performance, which requires overpotential as low 349 mV attain j 1 A cm-2 . Moreover, with protective surface CO32- exhibits slight activity degradation after 600 h under seawater. This work reports effective design concepts level self-transformation, acting momentous step toward defending seawater-to-H2 conversion systems.
