CuWO4 hollow nanosphere and methods of making thereof

Abstract

Electrochemical conversion of nitrate to ammonia is an approach to alleviate nitrate pollution in water and simultaneously generate green NH3 fuels. The practical application of this approach is challenging due to the lack of efficient electrocatalysts. The present disclosure relates generally to an electrocatalyst including a plurality of CuWO4 hollow nanospheres, which include asymmetric oxygen vacancies and adjacent Mo clusters, and methods of making and using the same. The electrocatalyst of the present disclosure is designed for efficient ammonia electrosynthesis.
