The electrocatalytic synthesis of cyclohexanone oxime from NO and with high Faradaic efficiency at ampere-level current density is highly desirable but challenging. Here, theoretical calculations reveal that coverage on the Ag catalyst plays a critical role in electrosynthesis. We then adjust local concentration experimentally by tuning reaction rate. find low benefits NH₃ formation, whereas delivers N-2 (N₂O N₂) products. A mechanistic study indicates increasing coverage, active sites transfer bridge step to hollow terrace sites, which results weaker adsorption O* species, leading stable existence NH₂OH* intermediate rather than decomposing form NH₃. However, N‒N coupling also easily occurs coverage. This understanding further inspires us develop doping strategy break equivalent surface can inhibit NO–NO thus realize density. Ru-doped developed, realizing 86% 1.0 cm^{− 2}, far exceeding reported performance.
