Patent WO9909234

23.Hossein Sharifian and Allen J. Bard, "Catalytic Film, Methods of Making the Catalytic Films, and Electrosynthesis of
Compounds Using the Catalytic Film,"
Patent US6165341

The first patent and these uses nitric acid, alkali metal nitrate, gasses, or any nitrogen oxide.

Patent US528131
Patent US6024855

There are also numerous patents regarding Pd&Pt/c catalytic reduction of nitric acid and nitrate salts to prepare hydroxylamine in eighty percent and higher yields when the catalyst was treated with a halogen. Seems simple enough if you don't care about using the catalyst day in day out for weeks. Making it possible to skip the halogen treatemnt. I like the electrolytic methods better though.
