    Enhanced Reduction of Nitrate to Ammonia at the Co-N Heteroatomic Interface in MOF-Derived Porous Carbon

    by Jing Liu, Shuo Du, Zibin Huang, Ning Liu, Zhichao Shao, Na Qin, Yanjie Wang, Hongfang Wang, Zhihui Ni, Liping Yang

    The electrocatalytic reduction of nitrate is an efficient and green method for NH3 production. In this study, a Co-containing MOF with a stable three-dimensional carbon framework that offers abundant metal active sites is prepared as a precursor to a Co-N-C electrocatalyst. Facile pyrolysis of the three-dimensional MOF affords the desired Co-N-C electrocatalyst, which exhibits excellent stability, an NH3 yield of 1.12 mmol h−1 mg−1, and faradaic efficiency of 86.7% at −0.23 V in a 0.1 M KOH/0.1 M KNO3. The excellent activity and durability are ascribed to the highly exposed active centres, large surface area, and high porosity structure. N doping allows the electronic properties to be modulated and provides outstanding stability owing to the strong interaction between the nitrogen-doped carbon support and Co nanoparticles. This study presents a simple and efficient synthesis strategy for the production of non-noble-metal electrocatalysts with abundant active sites for the nitrate reduction reaction.
