Abstract
Electrochemical nitrate reduction (NO3−RR) is strongly influenced by the interfacial microenvironment. In a recent publication in the Journal of the American Chemical Society, Park et al.1 developed a “hydronium-in-salt” electrolyte that confines hydronium (H3O+) and nitrate (NO3−) ions within the solvation shell of Li+ ions, thereby facilitating the proton-coupled electron transfer from H3O+ to NO3−.
