摘要:Nitrate pollution in surface water and ground water has drawn wide attention, which has brought challenges to human health and natural ecology. Electroreduction of nitrate to NH3 in waste water was a way to turn waste into wealth, which has attracted interest of many researchers. Using Nickel foam as substrate, we prepared Pd/In bimetallic electrode (NF-Pd/In) according to a two-step electrodeposition method. There are many irregularly shaped particles in the size range of 10nm-100 nm accumulated on the surface of prepared NF-Pd/In electrode, which could supply high specific area and more active sites for nitrate electroreduction. FESEM-EDS, XRD and XPS analysis confirmed the uniform distribution of Pd and In on the surface of prepared NF-Pd/In electrode, with a mass ratio of 4.5/1. Above 96% of 100mg/L NO3--N was removed and 95% of NH3 selectivity was reached after 5h of reaction under -1.6V vs. Ag/AgCl sat. KCl when using 0.05mol/L of Na2SO4 as electrolyte. High concentration of NaCl (0.05mol/L) in the test solution dramatically decreased the NH3 selectivity because the produced NH3 could be further oxidized to N2 by the formed HClO from Cl-. EIS tests indicated that the prepared NF-Pd/In electrode showed much lower electrode resistance than NF due to the adsorptive property and electrocatalytic ability for nitrate removal. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations indicated that the presence of In could promote the conversion of NO3- to *NO3 during the process of nitrate electroreduction to NH3. Circulating tests demonstrated the stability of prepared NF-Pd/In electrode.
