The development of electrocatalysts capable of efficient reduction of nitrate (NO ) to ammonia (NH ) is drawing increasing interest for the sake of low carbon emission and environmental protection. Herein, we present a CuCo bimetallic catalyst able to imitate the bifunctional nature of copper-type nitrite reductase, which could easily remove NO via the collaboration of two active centers. Indeed, Co acts as an electron/proton donating center, while Cu facilitates NO adsorption/association. The bio-inspired CuCo nanosheet electrocatalyst delivers a 100 ± 1% Faradaic efficiency at an ampere-level current density of 1035 mA cm at -0.2 V vs. Reversible Hydrogen Electrode. The NH production rate reaches a high activity of 4.8 mmol cm h (960 mmol g h ). A mechanistic study, using electrochemical in situ Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and shell-isolated nanoparticle enhanced Raman spectroscopy, reveals a strong synergy between Cu and Co, with Co sites promoting the hydrogenation of NO to NH via adsorbed *H species. The well-modulated coverage of adsorbed *H and *NO led simultaneously to high NH selectivity and yield.
