The fundamental motivation for converting nitrate to ammonia is to develop a sustainable approach that enables nitrogen nutrients/fuel to be recovered from wastewater in clean water production. Thus, it is expected that nitrogen in wastewater and soil is no longer an environmental burden, but rather a resource for fertilizer recycling. This process is similar to the microbial catabolism of nitrate nitrogen reduction to ammonium nitrogen, playing an important role in the sustainability of the terrestrial and marine nitrogen cycle. In principle, at alkaline conductivity, the nitrate estersIs more readily reduced to ammonia than nitrogen, has favorable thermodynamic potentials (0.69V vs. RHE), whereas electrochemical nitrate reduction (NitRR) involves the transfer of 8 electrons and 9 protons, with a lower overall kinetic rate. The reaction rates of current electrochemical nitrate reduction reactions are still low and the products of nitrate reduction reactions are complex and may include NO2 -、N2And NH3The selectivity is not high.
