Abstract: Electrocatalysis has emerged as a promising green and low-carbon technology that plays a pivotal role in renewable energy utilization and storage. To enhance chemical engineering undergraduates’ understanding and mastery of this advanced technology, we designed an integrated experiment involving the preparation of electrocatalytic materials using deep eutectic solvents (DESs) and their application in electrocatalytic nitrate reduction for ammonia synthesis. This comprehensive experiment cultivates students’ ability to apply and expand theoretical knowledge while fostering innovative thinking. Furthermore, it helps establish the concept of green chemistry in chemical engineering education.

Key words: Deep eutectic solvents, Metal-carbon composite materials, Electrocatalytic reduction, Nitrate, Ammonia synthesis
