Laser-Induced Pd-PdO/rGO Catalysts for Enhanced Electrocatalytic Conversion of Nitrate into Ammonia.

Electrochemical reduction of nitrate to ammonia (eNORR) is proposed as a sustainable solution for high-rate ammonia synthesis under ambient conditions. The complex, multistep eNORR mechanism necessitates the use of a catalyst for the complete conversion of nitrate to ammonia. Our research focuses on developing a novel Pd-PdO doped in a reduced graphene oxide (rGO) composite catalyst synthesized via a laser-assisted one-step technique.
