Scalable Ir-Doped NiFe2O4/TiO2 Heterojunction Anode for Decentralized Saline Wastewater Treatment and H2 Production
Abstract
Highlights Ir-doped NiFe2O4 (NFI) spinel with TiO2 heterojunction overlayer brought about outstanding chlorine evolution reaction in circumneutral pH. Electroanalyses including operando X-ray absorption spectroscopy uncovered the active role of TiO2 for Cl− chemisorption. NFI/TiO2 anode boosted both NH4 +-to-N2 conversion and H2 generation in wastewater, and the practical applicability was confirmed with scaled-up anodes and real wastewater.
