In this study, a molecular catalyst has been developed for the efficient and selective ammonia oxidation reaction at room temperature and pressure.
Electrocatalytic ammonia oxidation at room temperature and pressure allows energy-economical and environmentally friendly production of nitrites and nitrates. Few molecular catalysts, however, have been developed for this six- or eight-electronoxidation process. We now report [Cu(bipyalk)]+, a homogeneous electrocatalyst that realizes the title reaction in water at 94%Faradaic efficiency. The catalyst exhibits high selectivity against water oxidation in aqueous media, as [Cu(bipyalk)]+is not competent for water oxidation.
