In this study, low coordination number Ru nanosheets (Ru-LCN) were prepared and showed high performance in electrocatalytic reduction of NO to ammonia under low NO concentrations. The reaction pathway and enhanced mechanism were revealed through experiments and theoretical calculations.
Electrocatalytic nitric oxide (NO) reduction represents a sustainable route from the point of view of environmental protection and ammonia generation. However, conversion from NO to ammonia under low NO concentrations is still a big challenge. Herein, Ru nanosheets with low coordination numbers (Ru-LCN) are prepared and exhibit high performance for electrocatalytic NO (1% v/v) reduction to ammonia under -0.2 V vs RHE (Faradaic efficiency, 65.96%; yield rate, 45.02 mu mol.h(-1).mg(cat)(-1)), obviously outperforming its counterpart of high coordination number Ru nanosheets (Faradaic efficiency, 37.25%; yield rate, 25.57 mu mol.h(-1).mg(-1)). Colorimetric methods and H-1 nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy are performed to quantify ammonia. Through the combination of online differential electrochemical mass spectrometry (DEMS) and electrochemical in situ Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy with density functional theory calculations, the possible reaction pathway and enhanced mechanism are revealed. Constructing low coordination number Ru active sites is conducive to facilitating the adsorption of NO and reducing the reaction energy barrier of the potential-determining hydrogenation step.
