Effective Nitrate Electroconversion to Ammonia Using an Entangled Co₃O₄/Graphene Nanoribbon Catalyst.

ABSTRACT: There has been huge interest among chemical scientists in the electrochemical reduction of nitrate (NO₃^-) to ammonia (NH₄⁺) due to the useful application of NH₄⁺ in nitrogen fertilizers and fuel. To conduct such a complex reduction reaction, which involves eight electrons and eight protons, one needs to develop high-performance (and stable) electrocatalysts that favor the formation of reaction intermediates that are selective toward ammonia production. In the present study, we developed and applied Co₃O₄/graphene nanoribbon (GNR) electrocatalysts with excellent properties for the effective reduction of NO₃^- to NH₄⁺, where NH₄⁺ yield rate
