Electrochemical NO2-to-NH3 conversion (NO2RR) offers a green route to NH3 electrosynthesis, while developing efficient NO2RR catalysis systems at high current densities remains a grand challenge. Herein, we report an efficient Zr-NiO catalyst with atomically dispersed Zr-dopants incorporated in NiO lattice, delivering the exceptional NO2RR performance with industrial-level current density (>0.2 A cm−2). In situ spectroscopic measurements and theoretical simulations reveal the construction of Zr-Ni frustrated Lewis acid-base pairs (FLPs) on Zr-NiO, which can substantially increase the number of absorbed nitrite (NO2), promote the activation and protonation of NO2 and concurrently hamper the H coverage, boosting the activity and selectivity of Zr-NiO towards the NO2RR. Remarkably, Zr-NiO exhibits the exceptional performance in a flow cell with high Faradaic efficiency for NH3 of 94.0% and NH3 yield rate of 1,394.1 µmol h−1 cm−2 at an industrial-level current density of 228.2 mA cm−2, placing it among the best NO2RR electrocatalysts for NH3 production.

Zr-Ni 受挫路易斯酸碱对上的高效亚硝酸盐到氨的电还原

电化学NO 2 -至NH 3转化(NO 2 RR)为NH 3电合成提供了一条绿色途径,而在高电流密度下开发高效的NO 2 RR催化系统仍然是一个巨大的挑战。在此,我们报道了一种高效的Zr-NiO催化剂,其在NiO晶格中加入了原子分散的Zr掺杂剂,可提供卓越的NO 2 RR性能和工业级电流密度(>0.2 A cm -2)。原位光谱测量和理论模拟揭示了Zr-NiO上Zr-Ni受挫路易斯酸碱对(FLP)的构建,可以大幅增加吸收的亚硝酸盐(NO 2 -)的数量,促进NO的活化和质子化2 −同时阻碍 H 覆盖,提高 Zr-NiO 对 NO 2 RR的活性和选择性。值得注意的是,Zr-NiO在流通池中表现出优异的性能,在228.2 mA cm -2的工业级电流密度下, NH 3 的法拉第效率高达94.0%,NH 3产率为1,394.1 µmol h -1 cm -2 。 ,使其成为用于 NH 3生产的最佳 NO 2 RR 电催化剂之一。
