Electrochemical reduction of NOx pollutant based on solid oxide electrolysis cells (SOEC) is one of the promising technologies for post-combustion NOx emission control. NOx can be splitted with electric current instead of reductants in SOEC. This technology can avoid the risk of secondary pollution due to the leakage of reductants and can effectively reduce the sub-system for reductant storage and conversion which is usually complicated and space consuming. The working principles of SOECs for NOx reduction, the NOx conversion electrode materials, the SOEC structure features and the construction of SOEC stacks are summarized in details. The state of art, the key issues and the forefront of research are reviewed. Considering the characteristics of the NOx decomposition reaction, the performance evaluation indexes of NOx electrochemical reduction cell are proposed. Several novel concepts for practical cell designing such as additional electro-catalyst layer, porous electrolyte, symmetrical electrodes and the NOx storage agent are illustrated. The potential developing direction for NOx electrochemical reduction in SOEC is discussed.
