Article Abstract

The faradaic efficiency of BiWO is 62.0% at -0.3 V RHE, an improvement of 1.4- and 1.8-times relative to BiO and WO for the nitrate reduction reaction. In addition, the catalysis occurring on BiWO follows the pathway: *NO-*NO-*NO-*NOH-*HNOH-*HNOH-*NH, as verified by Raman spectroscopy and theoretical calculations.
