Abstract

The invention discloses a preparation method of a catalytic electrode for ammonia production through electrochemical reduction of nitrate or nitrite, which comprises the following steps: soaking metal in hydrochloric acid, soaking the metal in a hydroboron solution, and washing and drying to obtain the catalytic electrode. The catalytic electrode provided by the invention is simple in preparation process and low in cost, and shows excellent ammonia preparation rate and electrocatalytic selectivity in ammonia preparation through electrocatalytic reduction of nitrate or nitrite.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the preparation of a catalytic electrode for electrochemical reduction of nitrate or nitrite to ammonia, and belongs to the technical field of material preparation and electrocatalysis. Background technique [0002] Due to the nearly century-old Haber-Bosch artificial nitrogen fixation ammonia synthesis process, the total amount of nitrogen in the world has doubled. Nitroxide anions, including nitrate (NO 3 - ) and nitrite (NO 2 - ), its total content also increased significantly and caused adverse cascading effects on the environment. High concentrations of nitrate ions in drinking water will lead to the risk of human beings suffering from diseases such as hyperthemoglobinemia and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, and nitrite is a common carcinogen. The traditional treatment methods of nitroxide anions mainly include biological methods, ion exchange, and membrane separation, etc., but these methods often have the disadvantages of h...
