N-doped carbon-iron heterointerfaces for boosted electrocatalytic active and selective ammonia production.

ABSTRACT: The electrochemical conversion of waste nitrate (NO₃^-) to valuable ammonia (NH₃) is an economical and environmentally friendly technology for sustainable NH₃ production. It is beneficial for environmental nitrogen pollution management and is also an appealing alternative to the current Haber-Bosch process for NH₃ production. However, owing to the competing hydrogen evolution reaction, it is necessary to design highly efficient and stable electrocatalysts with high selectivity. Herein, we report a rational design of Fe nanoparticles wrapped in N-doped carbon (Fe@N₁₀-C) as a high NH₃ selective and efficient electrocatalyst using a metal-organic framework precursor. We constructed a catalyst with new active sites by
