Abstract:The development of a methodology for synthesizing value‐added urea (CO(NH2)2) via a renewable electricity‐driven C‐N coupling reaction under mild conditions is highly anticipated. However, the complex catalytic active sites that act on the carbon and nitrogen species make the reaction mechanism unclear, resulting in a low efficiency of C‐N coupling from the co‐reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2) and nitrate (NO3‐). Herein,we propose a novel tandem catalyst of Mo‐PCN‐222(Co), in which the Mo sites serve to facili… Show more
