CoSe2 nanowire array enabled highly efficient electrocatalytic reduction of nitrate for ammonia synthesis

The electrocatalytic reduction of nitrate(NO3-)not only facilitates the environmentally sustainable pro-duction of ammonia(NH3)but also purifies water by removing NO3-,thereby transforming waste into valuable resources.The process of converting NO3-to NH3 is complex,involving eight electron transfers and multiple intermediates,making the choice of electrocatalyst critical.In this study,we report a cobalt selenide(CoSe2)nanowire array on carbon cloth(CoSe2/CC)as an effective electrocatalyst for the NO3-to NH3 conversion.In an alkaline medium with 0.1 mol/L NO3-,CoSe2/CC demonstrates exceptional NH3 Faradaic efficiency of 97.6%and a high NH3 yield of 517.7 μmol h-1 cm-2 at-0.6 V versus the reversible hydrogen electrode.Furthermore,insights into the reaction mechanism of CoSe2 in the electrocatalytic NO3-reduction are elucidated through density functional theory calculations.
