摘要

电催化硝酸制氨具有环境和可持续合成的双重效益,但用低成本催化剂实现高效率仍然是主要挑战。本文对钴基电催化剂进行了综述,重点介绍了钴基电催化剂的结构工程,通过尺寸控制、成分调整和配位微环境调节来提高硝酸还原电催化反应(NO3RR)性能。值得注意的是,通过批判性地分析金属钴、钴合金、钴化合物、钴单原子和分子催化剂构型,我们首次从配位环境的角度建立了NO3RR的原子尺度结构特征与催化性能之间的相关性,包括运行过程中的动态重构及其对活性位点的影响。将实验突破与计算建模相结合,我们解码了复杂水环境中竞争性析氢抑制、中间吸附能量优化和耐久性增强的机制。对钴基催化剂的发展进行了总结和展望,并介绍了机器学习在加速高性能催化剂的研究和开发以及可扩展硝酸盐制氨系统串联反应器配置方面的新机遇。结合表面科学和应用,概述了设计多功能电催化剂以可持续地恢复氮循环平衡的框架。

Cobalt-Based Electrocatalysts for Sustainable Nitrate Conversion: Structural Design and Mechanistic Advancements

Electrocatalytic nitrate-to-ammonia conversion offers dual environmental and sustainable synthesis benefits, but achieving high efficiency with low-cost catalysts remains a major challenge. This review focuses on cobalt-based electrocatalysts, emphasizing their structural engineering for enhanced the performance of electrocatalytic nitrate reduction reaction (NO3RR) through dimensional control, compositional tuning, and coordination microenvironment modulation. Notably, by critically analyzing metallic cobalt, cobalt alloys, cobalt compounds, cobalt single atom and molecular catalyst configurations, we firstly establish correlations between atomic-scale structural features and catalytic performance in a coordination environment perspective for NO3RR, including the dynamic reconstruction during operation and its impact on active site. Synergizing experimental breakthroughs with computational modeling, we decode mechanisms underlying competitive hydrogen evolution suppression, intermediate adsorption-energy optimization, and durability enhancement in complex aqueous environments. The development of cobalt-based catalysts was summarized and prospected, and the emerging opportunities of machine learning in accelerating the research and development of high-performance catalysts and the configuration of series reactors for scalable nitrate-to-ammonia systems were also introduced. Bridging surface science and applications, it outlines a framework for designing multifunctional electrocatalysts to restore nitrogen cycle balance sustainably.
