Electrochemical synthesis routes powered by renewable electricity can provide sustainable chemical commodities replacing conventional fossil-based processes. Increasing research focuses on value-added chemicals like the indispensable fertilizer urea, which also constitutes a study case for electrochemical CN-coupling. To guide identification of highly selective catalysts, we aim to new insight analysing existing experimental data selectivity transition metal catalysts towards electrochemically synthesized urea. Firstly, project high dimensional using principal component analysis (PCA) lower dimensions, and thereby confirm that urea is correlated with CO NH3. Furthermore, identified most suitable two-dimensional descriptors prediction out various adsorption energies calculated density functional theory (DFT). We suggest *H *O slabs predict in co-reduction CO2 nitrite ( NO2- ).
