Substituting the oxygen evolution reaction by urea oxidation (UOR) is thermodynamically more favorable for energy-saving hydrogen production. However, UOR suffers from sluggish kinetics due to its complex six-electron transfer processes combined with conversion of complicated intermediates. Herein, LaNiO3–NiO heterojunctions successfully constructed accelerate UOR. Systematic experimental investigation and theoretical calculation endorse that self-driven local charge redistribution takes place at Janus LaNiO3/NiO interface, generating nucleophilic electrophilic regions. Such a unique structure targeted adsorption amino groups carbonyl groups, thus promoting rupture C–N bonds in urea. In addition, build-in electric field triggered heterojunction could effectively diminish stepwise energy barrier, accelerating desorption *CO2. As result, exhibits superior performance, delivering current density 10 mA cm–2 1.34 V (vs RHE). This work supplies valuable insights fundamental understanding rational construction efficient catalyst.
