Electrocatalytic Reduction of Nitrate

Electrocatalytic Reduction of Nitrate

2.2 Reactor Design PrinciplesThe most commonly used reactor is the traditional parallel plate electrochemical filter press, which has a simple structure and scalability (Figure 1a). Simple separation between the electrode plates can reduce the solution resistivity and operating costs, and the electrochemical unit can also be expanded from a single anode-cathode pair to multiple parallel … Read more

Lattice Nitrogen 'Self-Circulation': The 48% Faradaic Efficiency Code for Converting N₂ to NH₃ with 2D Ti₂NTₓ MXene

First Author: David Kumar Yesudoss (Texas A&M University)Corresponding Authors: Abdoulaye Djire, Perla B. Balbuena (Texas A&M University) Research BackgroundElectrochemical nitrogen reduction (NRR) can replace the energy-intensive Haber-Bosch process, but traditional surface pathways require the breaking of N≡N bonds, and the competition with HER has kept NH₃ Faradaic efficiency (FE) below 15% for a long time. … Read more
