Ni-C and Co/Ni-C electro-catalysts prepared by solvothermal reaction method exhibited good catalytic performance in ammonia oxidation reaction. The addition of Co enhanced reaction efficiency and power generation, suitable for treating wastewater contaminated with ammonia.
Ni-C and Co/Ni-C electro-catalysts were prepared using solvothermal reaction method and used to oxidize ammonia in aqueous solution. Ni and Co were consistently dispersed in carbon generating spherical and porous structure (pore size- 20-50 nm). The sphericity and porosity of the electro-catalysts increased by increasing the percentage of Co in the composite. The XRD pattern confirmed the formation of Co/Ni-C composite with a reasonable presence of metal hydroxide (Ni(OH)(2) & Co(OH)(2)). The addition of Co to Ni-C enhanced ammonia oxidation reaction (AOR) by decreasing the oxidation peaks in the range of 0.23-0.56 V, increasing the reversible production of metal-hydroxides and generating power (P-gen) to sustain the reaction. The reported P-gen were 0.55, 0.85, 1.1 and 0.0.93 mW/cm(2) for Ni-C, Co-10/Ni-C, Co-20/Ni-C and Co-40/Ni-C. A concentration of Co higher than 40% decreased cell potential (V-ce(ll)) and reduced the percentage removal of ammonia (%REAmm). A %REAmm, of 97 and 99% were achieved by Ni-C and Co-20/Ni-C, respectively. The mechanism of AOR follows direct electron transfer at low initial ammonia concentrations and changed to oxidation mechanism at higher concentrations. AOR is more effective at alkaline and high temperature with a high possible chance to be used as fuel in electrochemical cell to generate electricity as well as treating wastewater contaminated with ammonia.
