To restore the natural nitrogen cycle (N-cycle), artificial N-cycle electrocatalysis with flexibility, sustainability, and compatibility can convert intermittent renewable energy (e.g., wind) to harmful or value-added chemicals minimal carbon emissions. The background of such N-cycles, as fixation, ammonia oxidation, nitrate reduction, is briefly introduced here. discussion emerging nanostructures in various conversion reactions focused on architecture/compositional design, electrochemical...
NiCo2 O4 nanowire array on carbon cloth (NiCo2 /CC) is proposed as a highly active electrocatalyst for ambient nitrate (NO3- ) reduction to ammonia (NH3 ).
