CoSe <sub>2</sub> hollow nanoboxes for enhanced electrocatalytic nitrate reduction toward ammonia synthesis
Herein, CoSe<sub>2</sub> supported on hollow nanobox carbon is developed as a high-performance catalyst for nitrate electroreduction. The observed catalytic activity is mainly influenced by the hollow CoSe<sub>2</sub> nanostructure, which effectively increases the availability of active sites, as well as the conductive nitrogen-doped carbon matrix that facilitates charge transfer. As a result, the catalyst achieves a maximum faradaic efficiency of 88.1% and an impressive NH<sub>3</sub> yield rate of 573.4 μmol h<sup>-1</sup> mg<sup>-1</sup>.
