Pt-modified Fe3O4 Supported on Ni Foam Nanocomposite for Electrocatalytic Nitrate Reduction to Ammonia
Effective and sustainable electrocatalytic reduction of nitrate is greatly desired to solve the problem of global water contamination and provide a promising way to generate fossil-free ammonia. In this regard, Pt-Fe3O4 nanoparticles are decorated on Ni foam (NF) using the hydrothermal method to achieve Pt-Fe3O4/NF nanocomposite electrocatalyst. Various characterization techniques investigate the structural and morphological properties of Pt-Fe3O4/NF nanocomposite. Benefiting from the small size of Pt and Fe nanoparticles, the Pt-Fe3O4/NF nanocomposite reveals excellent performance for electrocatalytic nitrate reduction with an NH4+ yield rate of 0.301 mmol h−1 cm−2 (5.418 mg h−1 mg−1cat.) and Faradaic efficiency of 80.7% at − 0.8 V vs. RHE. Pt-Fe3O4/NF nanocomposite exhibits unique metallic properties and abundant surface sites due to a synergistic effect of Pt-Fe nanostructure favorable for the electrochemical and hydrogenation reduction processes. Moreover, Pt-Fe3O4/NF nanocomposite reveals outstanding long-term stability and durability. Isotope labeling experiments are performed, and results demonstrate that ammonia originates from nitrate reduction. These favorable outcomes of Pt-Fe3O4/NF nanocomposite emphasize its potential for treating nitrate wastewater for ammonia recovery and prospects for its industrial applications.
Graphical Abstract
