摘要
Improving surface selectivity and maximizing electrode surface area are critical needs for the electroreduction of nitrate. Herein, preferential (100) oriented Pt nanoflowers with an extended surface area were prepared by potentiostatic deposition on carbon cloth (Pt NFs/CC), and then Cu atoms were adsorbed on the Pt NFs (Cu/Pt NFs/CC) for application of nitrate electroreduction. The results reveal that Cu/Pt NFs/CC with 8.7% Cu coverage exhibits a high selectivity for nitrate electroreduction to N-2 following two steps: Nitrate firstly converts into nitrite on Cu sites adsorbed on Pt NFs, then nitrite subsequently selective reduction and ammonia oxidation to N-2 occur on the large exposed (100) terraces in Pt NFs. In addition, electrocatalytic activity and selectivity of nitrate reduction strongly rely on the Cu surface coverage on Pt NFs, the lower activity of nitrate reduction is displayed with increase of Cu coverage. Accordingly, the selective reduction of nitrate to N-2 is feasible at such nanostructured Pt nanoflowers modified with Cu.
