Ce-doped Cu(OH) 2 /Ni(OH) 2 heterostructure for efficient electrocatalytic nitrate reduction to ammonia

Yongzhe Liang, Jiaqi Cai, Pengfei Liu, Ruihong Han, Yan-Qin Wang

A Ce-doped Cu(OH) 2 /Ni(OH) 2 heterostructure modulates electronic configuration and creats oxygen vacancies, boosting H* production for NH 3 synthesis with 98% faradaic efficiency and 45.8 mg h −1 cm −2 yield at −0.4 V vs. RHE in alkaline media.
