Electrocatalytic nitrate reduction reaction (NO3-RR) provides a sustainable route for ammonia production while mitigating the nitrate pollutant in the environment. Metal-support interaction has a significant influence on this electrocatalytic process. However, the mechanism of facet-dependent metal-support interaction in NO3-RR is still enveloped. Herein, we report the modulation of metal-support interaction by depositing copper nanoparticles on anatase TiO2 with different facet exposures, i.e., (001) and (101) facets, for NO3-RR.
