Electrochemical nitrate reduction has become an appealing "waste-to-wealth" approach for sustainable NH3 synthesis owing to its mild operating conditions. However, developing catalysts with high activities and Faradaic efficiencies for this complicated eight-electron reaction is a great challenge. Herein, bismuth ferrite (BiFeO3) flakes, with a distorted perovskite-type structure, are demonstrated to be excellent catalysts for electrochemical NH3 synthesis via nitrate reduction, with a maximum Faradaic efficiency of 96.85%, NH3 yield of 90.45 mg h-1 mgcat-1, at -0.6 V vs. reversible hydrogen electrode. During the nitrate reduction reaction, the crystalline BiFeO3 rapidly converts into an amorphous phase, which is stable in the long term reaction. These results open a new window for rational design of more active and durable electrocatalysts.
