Recent advances in nanostructured heterogeneous catalysts for N-cycle electrocatalysis

TL;DR: In this article , the authors classify inorganic nitrogen sources that convert to each other under an applied voltage into three types, namely, abundant nitrogen, toxic nitrate (nitrite), and nitrogen oxides, and useful compounds such as ammonia, hydrazine, and hydroxylamine, with the goal of providing more critical insights into strategies to facilitate the development of our circular nitrogen economy.

Regulating surface oxygen species on copper (I) oxides via plasma treatment for effective reduction of nitrate to ammonia

TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper demonstrate that tuning the oxygen chemical environment via Ar plasma treatment is an effective approach to improve the NO3-RR activity of Cu2O. They find that plasma treatment can effectively promote the formation of oxygen vacancies and hydroxyl groups on CU2O surface, thus leading to improved ammonia selectivity.

An efficient screening strategy towards multifunctional catalysts for the simultaneous electroreduction of NO<sub>3</sub><sup>−</sup>, NO<sub>2</sub><sup>−</sup> and NO to NH<sub>3</sub>

TL;DR: In this article , an efficient strategy focusing on the key protonation process was confirmed to screen multifunctional electrocatalysts for the NORR, NO 2 RR and NO 3 RR.

Electrocatalytic Hydrogenation Boosts Reduction of Nitrate to Ammonia over Single-Atom Cu with Cu(I)-N3C1 Sites.

TL;DR: In this paper , an atomic Cu sites anchored on micro-mesoporous nitrogen-doped carbon (Cu MNC) with fine-tuned hydrophilicity and abundant Cu(I) sites were synthesized for selective nitrate reduction to ammonia, achieving ambient temperature and pressure hydrogenation of nitrate.

Generalized Gradient Approximation Made Simple

TL;DR: A simple derivation of a simple GGA is presented, in which all parameters (other than those in LSD) are fundamental constants, and only general features of the detailed construction underlying the Perdew-Wang 1991 (PW91) GGA are invoked.
Journal ArticleDOI

Efficient iterative schemes for ab initio total-energy calculations using a plane-wave basis set.

TL;DR: An efficient scheme for calculating the Kohn-Sham ground state of metallic systems using pseudopotentials and a plane-wave basis set is presented and the application of Pulay's DIIS method to the iterative diagonalization of large matrices will be discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Projector augmented-wave method

TL;DR: An approach for electronic structure calculations is described that generalizes both the pseudopotential method and the linear augmented-plane-wave (LAPW) method in a natural way and can be used to treat first-row and transition-metal elements with affordable effort and provides access to the full wave function.

Special points for brillouin-zone integrations

TL;DR: In this article, a method for generating sets of special points in the Brillouin zone which provides an efficient means of integrating periodic functions of the wave vector is given, where the integration can be over the entire zone or over specified portions thereof.

Semiempirical GGA-type density functional constructed with a long-range dispersion correction.

TL;DR: A new density functional of the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) type for general chemistry applications termed B97‐D is proposed, based on Becke's power‐series ansatz from 1997, and is explicitly parameterized by including damped atom‐pairwise dispersion corrections of the form C6 · R−6.
