Senior authorCorrespondingNitrates from agricultural runoff and industrial waste streams are a notorious waste product and hazardous pollutant. Traditional electrochemical water remediation approaches aim to solve this problem by converting nitrates to environmentally benign N2 while minimizing the production of environmentally hazardous side products such as ammonia and nitrous oxide in a process known as “denitrification”. We modify this concept and outline an opportunity to optimize the conversion of nitrates into amm…

@0.9 V iR-free is achievable in the membrane electrode assembly. Nevertheless, active catalysts with high ORR activity do not necessarily lead to high performance in the high-current-density (HCD) region. More attention shall be directed toward HCD performance for enabling high-power-density hydrogen fuel cells.

articleOpen accessSenior authorCorrespondingABSTRACT One route to improve material performance and stability for acidic electrochemical technologies involves atomically mixing different metals, a pertinent example being PtCo catalysts for fuel cells. However, there is a need for deeper understanding of how non‐precious components, such as Co, mechanistically behave when combined with other metals during electrocatalysis. Herein, e‐beam physical vapor deposition is utilized to synthesize bimetallic thin films with a low atomic percentage o…
