Porous Two-dimensional Iron-Cyano Nanosheets for High-rate Electrochemical Nitrate Reduction

Zhiwei Fang et al.

Summary: Ammonia is an essential ingredient in agriculture and a promising source of clean energy, with the electrochemical nitrate reduction reaction (NO3RR) showing potential for efficient and environmentally friendly ammonia production. The development of high-rate NO3RR can be achieved using two-dimensional iron-based cyano-coordination polymer nanosheets, which exhibit high catalytic activity with a high NH3 yield rate and Faradaic efficiency. The research also highlights the importance of superhydrophilic surface and enhanced electrochemical surface area for high-rate electrocatalysis.
