We review advances in the electrocatalytic nitrate reduction mechanism and evaluate future efforts. Existing work could be supplemented by controlling reaction conditions quantifying active sites to determine activity on a per-site basis.
Tandem dye-sensitized photoelectrosynthesis cells are promising architectures for the production of solar fuels and commodity chemicals. A key bottleneck in development these is low efficiency photocathodes, leading to small current densities. Herein, we report a new design principle highly active photocathodes that relies on outer-sphere reduction substrate from dye, generating an unstable radical proceeds desired product. We show direct dioxygen nickel oxide (NiO) leads H2O2. In presence...
Comparison between thermocatalytic and electrocatalytic nitrate reduction reactions highlights mechanistic similarities differences the two reactions.
