Framework Materials for the Electrocatalytic Reduction of Nitrate to Ammonia
- The electrocatalytic reduction of nitrate to ammonia offers a sustainable alternative to the energy-intensive Haber-Bosch process while simultaneously addressing the pressing issue of nitrate pollution in water sources. Developing efficient catalysts for this reaction is therefore vital for both environmental remediation and green ammonia production. Framework materials such as metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), covalent organic frameworks (COFs), and coordination polymers present an emerging class of electrocatalytic materials due to their high surface area, tunable porosity, and structural modularity. Their ability to incorporate diverse metal centers and functional groups makes them promising candidates for selective and efficient nitrate reduction. In order to change and improve catalytic properties, different synthesis strategies can be pursued, such as metal alloying or calcination under different conditions. To fully understand and optimize these materials, advancedThe electrocatalytic reduction of nitrate to ammonia offers a sustainable alternative to the energy-intensive Haber-Bosch process while simultaneously addressing the pressing issue of nitrate pollution in water sources.
