Titanium-Nitrogen-Doped Carbon Flowers Achieve Over 60% Selectivity for Ammonia in Alkaline Nitrate Reduction Reaction

First Author: Matthew J. Liu (Stanford University)Corresponding Author: William A. Tarpeh (Stanford University) Research BackgroundElectrochemical nitrate reduction (NO₃RR) can convert wastewater NO₃⁻ into NH₃, which is considered an important route for the distributed production of green ammonia. Current metal-nitrogen doped carbon (MNC) strategies have achieved high NH₃ selectivity with catalysts such as Fe, Co, and … Read more
