摘要 Awaking the force of materials for specific efficacy by precise electronic modulation remains a fundamental challenge in catalysis. Herein, we transform ordinary NiFe-layered double hydroxide (NiFe-LDH) into a high-performance NO3−-to-NH3 electrocatalyst via cathodic electrochemical restructuring, which effectively induces oxygen vacancy (Ov) clusters preferentially localized around low-valence Ni sites. The resultant restructured NiFe-LDH (NiFe-LDH-R) demonstrates excellent concentration-universal NH3 electrosynthesis activity in 1 M KOH, notably sustaining high Faradaic efficiencies (FEs, 88.5%–95%) across a broad potential range and attaining an ampere-level current density (−1.46 A cm−2) together with a remarkable yield rate of 104.1 mgNH3 h−1 cm−2. In situ spectroscopic analyses reveal boosted hydrogenation kinetics and a thermodynamically favorable NOH pathway for NiFe-LDH-R, which is further decoded by theoretical calculations indicating that synergized Ov/Fe and low-valence Ni sites, respectively enhance NO3− adsorption and directional active hydrogen (*H) supply, thus streamlining overall energy barriers. Moreover, a new-style membrane-free bipolar electrosynthesis system is established, which enables unprecedent NH3 FEs exceeding 100% and scalable NH3 valorization into 4.1 g of methenamine. This study rekindles power of electrochemical restructuring in catalyst advance and pioneers a new paradigm for energy-efficient electrochemical NH3 production and fixation.
