Abstract

Pd catalyzed electrochemical reduction process shows great promising in the safe and effective treatment of various pollutants, with additional merits like reagent-free and using sustainable electricity. However, the low Pd mass activity, and the unsatisfactory electron utilization efficiency, or the low faraday efficiency impedes their real-world application. In this study, we take advantage of the high conductivity, surface hydrophilicity of Co₂N, and designed Pd/Co₂N electrocatalysts for the electrochemical reduction of NO₃^-, a highly concerned water borne pollutant. The Pd/Co₂N was synthesized by in-situ nitridation of Pd/Co₃O₄ NSs, which was synthesized from the co-reduction of CoCl₂ and PdCl₄^2- in the presence nonionic surfactant Triton X-114 (TX-114). Our Pd/Co₂N showed high activity in the reduction of NO₃^-, with NH₃ as the primary product. Besides showing the fore-hand of conversion waste into key chemicals, this work demonstrated the judicious selection of support for the rear-earth abundant Pd could make the base of highly efficient Pd catalyst.
