AbstractNitrate pollution from agricultural runoff and industrial wastewater has been linked to significant human health concerns, such as birth defects and cancer, and environmental impacts, such as algae blooms. This project will focus on developing catalysts to convert nitrate to inert nitrogen gas or ammonia for reuse in fertilizers. In particular, this project will seek to understand how the atomic-scale details of catalyst structure and composition can control the selectivity between these possibl
