Nitrogen-doped carbon and NiOx synergistically powered electrocatalytic dechlorination on Ag composite cathode

Key Points

• The electrocatalytic dechlorination efficiency increased significantly with the use of nitrogen-doped carbon and NiOx.
• Key metrics demonstrated a 30% improvement in dechlorination rates when applying the Ag composite cathode setup.
• Analysis of the cathode materials confirms the synergistic effect of nitrogen-doped carbon and NiOx in the dechlorination process.
• Findings highlight potential environmental benefits, but further research is needed to understand long-term performance.
