Turning Pollution into Product: Electrochemical NO to HNO₃ Conversion

In this episode of The Zero Emission Zone, we explore a groundbreaking electrochemical method to convert nitric oxide (NO)—a major pollutant—into concentrated nitric acid (HNO₃) at near-ambient conditions using carbon-based catalysts. This AI-generated summary breaks down how the process achieves high Faradaic efficiency, operates without added electrolytes, and presents a sustainable path for decentralized chemical manufacturing.
