Abstract
Electrocatalytic nitrate reduction to ammonia (NO<sub>3</sub>RR) is a promising approach to recycle nitrogen from nitrate pollutants, yet it remains challenged by low Faradaic efficiency and insufficient NH<sub>3</sub> production. Herein, Cu-doped nanoporous Co<sub>2</sub>P (np-Co<sub>2-x</sub>Cu<sub>x</sub>P) is reported as electrocatalyst for NO<sub>3</sub>RR, achieving an ammonia yield rate of 30.6 mg h<sup>-1</sup> cm<sup>-2</sup> with a Faradaic efficiency of 93.4% at -0.3 V vs. RHE. In-situ spectroscopic analyses indicate that Cu incorporation modifies the surface electronic structure, resulting in the promotion of *H adsorption and *NO<sub>2</sub><sup>-</sup> hydrogenation, thereby facilitating efficient ammonia generation.
