Summary: This study explores the effect of three coinage metals (Cu, Ag, and Au) on Pt electrode for the electrochemical reduction of nitrate in neutral solution. Among the three electrodes, Pt-Cu exhibits the best catalytic activity, while Pt-Au electrode shows no reactivity. Nitrate reduction at Pt-Cu electrode yields ammonia via both direct and indirect reaction pathways. The cathodic transfer coefficients and standard rate constants for nitrate reduction were calculated for Pt-Cu and Pt-Ag electrodes.
