Abstract
/CF showed faster charge transfer and created more electron-deficient Mn sites, electron-rich Cu sites and large numbers of oxygen vacancies, which were conducive to improving the catalytic activity. This work may open an avenue for the construction of heterostructures as an electrocatalyst for the reduction of nitrate to ammonia.
