Low-coordination single Ni atoms on graphitic C3N4 for nitrite electroreduction to ammonia

Inorg. Chem. Front., 2023, 10,5950-5957
DOI: 10.1039/D3QI01425H, Research Article
Hongyan Zhao, Jiaqi Xiang, Guike Zhang, Kai Chen, Ke Chu
Single Ni atoms on g-C3N4 are verified as an efficient catalyst for electrocatalytic converting NO2 to NH3, which is attributed to the critical role of low-coordination Ni1–N2 moieties in activating and hydrogenating NO2 and retarding the HER.
