In this study, we construct a Cu@ZrO2 heterogenous structure as a new catalyst that achieves a large NH3 yield of 15.4 mg h-1 mg-1cat. and a high faradaic efficiency of 67.6% at -0.7 V vs. RHE in 0.1 M PBS with 0.1 M NaNO3, and it also shows excellent electrochemical durability and structural stability. Theoretical calculations reveal an extremely low adsorption energy of -1.54 eV at Cu surfaces and Cu can significantly reduce the applied overpotential and correspondingly promote the catalytic activity.
