Abstract

An electrochemical nitrogen oxidation approach has been realized experimentally by a Pd-decorated MXene (Ti3C2Tx, T = F and O) electrocatalyst under ambient conditions. The Pd-MXene catalyst can achieve a desirable nitrate yield rate of 2.80 µg h-1mgcat-1(equivalent to 45.16 µmol h-1gcat-1HNO3) as well as a high nitrate faradaic efficiency of 11.34% in a favorable neutral pH environment.
