摘要

Electrocatalytic NO reduction is a promising technology for ambient NO removal with simultaneous production of highly value-added NH 3 . Herein, we report that honeycomb carbon nanofiber coated on carbon paper acts as an efficient metal-free catalyst for ambient electroreduction of NO to NH 3 . In 0.2 M Na 2 SO 4 solution, such catalyst achieves an NH 3 yield of 22.35 μmol h −1  cm −2 with a high Faradaic efficiency of up to 88.33%. Impressively, it also shows excellent stability for 10-h continuous electrolysis. Theoretical calculations reveal that the most active center of functional groups is –OH group for NO reduction with a low energy barrier (ΔG of 0.29 eV) for the potential-determining step (*NO + H → *HNO).
