g-C<sub>3</sub>N<sub>4</sub>/Bi<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> hetero-nanosheets as a superior electrocatalyst for nitrate reduction to ammonia
The faradaic efficiency of the electro-synthesis of ammonia using the nitrate reduction reaction (NO<sub>3</sub><sup>-</sup>RR) relies on an electrocatalyst to hydrogenate NO<sub>3</sub><sup>-</sup> and simultaneously suppress the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Due to the formation of a heterostructure, the faradaic efficiency of g-C<sub>3</sub>N<sub>4</sub>/Bi<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> reaches 91.12% at -0.4 V <i>vs.</i> RHE due to more oxygen vacancies.
