Abstract
Turning the harmful NO into value-added chemicals is a promising alternative to achieve the electrocatalytic NO upgrading and maintain the global N-balance. However, the reaction mechanisms and electrochemical performances and are still needed to be further investigated. Herein, the development of electrochemical NO reduction and oxidation reaction (NORR and NOOR) were respectively summarized. In the NORR part, we summarized the electrocatalytic reaction systems, including directly NORR (NO to NH3/NH2OH) and the C-N coupling reactions with COx for urea, and organic molecules for amino acid, oxime. The reaction mechanisms and design principles of electrocatalysts for different reaction systems were reviewed, combining theoretical calculations and advanced characterization techniques. The NO reaction is also a potential approach to replace others cathodic reduction. Finally, the challenges and outlooks in this fields have been proposed. The electrocatalytic NO reaction not only realizes the efficient green utilization, but also provides guidance for nitrogen economy.
期刊介绍:
Applied Catalysis B: Environment and Energy (formerly Applied Catalysis B: Environmental) is a journal that focuses on the transition towards cleaner and more sustainable energy sources. The journal's publications cover a wide range of topics, including:
1.Catalytic elimination of environmental pollutants such as nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, sulfur compounds, chlorinated and other organic compounds, and soot emitted from stationary or mobile sources.
2.Basic understanding of catalysts used in environmental pollution abatement, particularly in industrial processes.
3.All aspects of preparation, characterization, activation, deactivation, and regeneration of novel and commercially applicable environmental catalysts.
4.New catalytic routes and processes for the production of clean energy, such as hydrogen generation via catalytic fuel processing, and new catalysts and electrocatalysts for fuel cells.
5.Catalytic reactions that convert wastes into useful products.
6.Clean manufacturing techniques that replace toxic chemicals with environmentally friendly catalysts.
7.Scientific aspects of photocatalytic processes and a basic understanding of photocatalysts as applied to environmental problems.
8.New catalytic combustion technologies and catalysts.
9.New catalytic non-enzymatic transformations of biomass components.
The journal is abstracted and indexed in API Abstracts, Research Alert, Chemical Abstracts, Web of Science, Theoretical Chemical Engineering Abstracts, Engineering, Technology & Applied Sciences, and others.
