Abstract:
... Direct electrocatalytic reduction of nitrate (NO₃–) is an efficient route to simultaneously synthesize ammonia (NH₃) and remove NO₃– pollutants under ambient conditions, however, it is hindered by the lack of efficient and stable catalysts. Herein, a self-supported spinel-type MnCo₂O₄ nanowire array is demonstrated for exclusively catalyzing the conversion of NO₃– to NH₃, achieving a high Faradic ...

The LCVD is transmitted by vector whitefly (Bemisia tabaci) so efficiently that even single whitefly is able to transmit the virus. The effective way to manage the LCVD in pepper is to introduce LCVD resistance into agronomically desired cultivars, but the lac ...
