USTC develops efficient tandem catalyst to enhance nitrate electroreduction to ammonia - EurekAlert


A research team led by Prof. ZENG Jie and Prof. GENG Zhigang from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) has designed a tandem catalyst to improve the electroreduction of nitrate into ammonia. By coupling Cu single atoms catalysts with adjacent Co3O4 nanosheets, the team successfully regulated the adsorption energy of intermediates in the nitrate electroreduction process, promoting the synthesis of ammonia. Their findings were published in Nature Communications.
