电催化硝酸盐还原反应(NO3RR)是一种生产氨和净化废水的绿色技术, 但是其反应过程会与析氢反应竞争, 并且造成亚硝酸盐中间体积累。设计和构筑具有不同催化特性的双活性位点可以提高反应活性, 进而通过串联催化策略(NO3-→NO2-→NH3)显著提升氨的生成速率与选择性。本研究以结构明确的金属有机框架(MOFs)为模板, 通过简单的水热法构筑了CuNi双金属MOFs串联催化体系。研究结果表明, Cu活性位点可高效催化NO3-还原为NO2-, Ni位点展现出优异的活性氢物种*H供应能力及NO2-转化效率, 二者形成高效的串联催化机制, 实现了高达90.1%的氨合成法拉第效率和28.8 mg·h-1·mgcat-1的氨产率。经过多次循环测试后, 双金属MOFs催化剂的合成氨性能未出现衰减, 表现出优异的循环稳定性。本研究可为高性能串联催化剂的设计与优化提供新的见解。
