Discovery of cathodic nitrogen evolution

Abstract

During cyclic voltammetry studies of the surface electrochemistry of the oxidation of azide ions to N2 at a Pt anode, a large reduction current peak is observed during the cathodic sweep; this is shown to be due to electrolytic reduction of N3 to N2 gas and aqueous NH3.
