Nitrate(NO3),a nitrogen-containing pollutant,is prevalent in aqueous solutions,contributing to a range of environmental and health-related issues.The electrocatalytic reduction of NO3 holds promise as a sustainable approach to both eliminating NO3 and generating valuable ammonia(NH3).Nevertheless,the reduction reaction of NO3(NO3-RR),involving 8-electron transfer process,is intricate,necessitating highly efficient electrocatalysts to facilitate the conversion of NO3 to NH3.In this study,Fe-doped Co3O4 nanowire strutted three-dimensional(3D)pinewood-derived carbon(Fe-Co3O4/PC)is proposed as a high-efficiency NO3-RR electrocatalyst for NH3 production.Operating within 0.1 M NaOH containing NO3-,Fe-Co3O4/PC demonstrates exceptional performance,obtain an impressively large NH3 yield of 0.55 mmol h-1·cm-2 and an exceptionally high Faradaic efficiency of 96.5%at-0.5 V,superior to its Co3O4/PC counterpart(0.2 mmol-h-1·cm-2,73.3%).Furthermore,the study delves into the reaction mechanism of Fe-Co3O4 for NO3-RR through theoretical calculations.
