Fe(TCNQ)2 nanorod arrays: an efficient electrocatalyst for electrochemical ammonia synthesis via the nitrate reduction reaction
JOURNAL OF MATERIALS CHEMISTRY A(2024)
摘要
The electrochemical reduction of nitrate to ammonia (NO3RR) catalyzed by metal organic frameworks (MOFs) is a promising and efficient method for reducing nitrate pollution in water while simultaneously producing a valuable product, ammonia. Herein, we report the 3D nanoarray architecture of the metal organic complex Fe-(tetracyanoquinodimethane)(2) Fe(TCNQ)(2) as an efficient electrocatalyst that exhibits a high ammonia yield rate of 11 351.6 mu g h(-1) cm(-2) and faradaic efficiency (FE) of 85.2% at -1.1 V vs. RHE and excellent catalytic stability up to 2 days. The excellent catalytic performance is evaluated by ATR-FTIR spectroscopy and a series of control experiments. Density functional-based theoretical calculations are carried out to identify Fe-N-4 active sites in metal-organic network structures. This study showcases the advancement of transition metal-based organic frameworks as very effective electrocatalysts for the reduction of nitrate to ammonia (NH3).
