Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) is an essential molecule in biomedicine, recognized for its antibacterial properties, neuronal modulation, and use in inhalation therapies. The effectiveness of NO-based treatments relies on precise control of NO concentrations tailored to specific therapeutic needs. Electrochemical generation of NO (E-NOgen) via nitrite (NO2-) reduction offers a scalable and efficient route for controlled NO production, while also addressing environmental concerns by reducing NO2- pollution and maintaining nitrogen cycle balance. Recent developments in catalysts and E-NOgen devices have propelled NO2- conversion, enabling on-demand NO production. This review provides an overview of NO2- reduction pathways, with a focus on cutting-edge Fe/Cu-based E-NOgen catalysts, and explores the development of E-NOgen devices for biomedical use. Challenges and future directions for advancing E-NOgen technologies are also discussed.
