Abstract:
A ZnP2/CuP2 composite catalyst with abundant heterointerfaces was constructed, exhibiting a tandem synergistic effect between ZnP2 and CuP2 sites and their interfacially modulated electronic interactions, promoting a favorable NO3--to-NH3 reaction pathway. By optimizing the proportion of active sites, a remarkable NH3 yield of 46.3 mg h-1 mgcat-1 and a high Faraday efficiency of 98.5% were achieved.
