Abstract Urea electrosynthesis from co–electrolysis of NO 3 − and CO 2 (UENC) offers a promising technology for achieving sustainable efficient urea production. Herein, diatomic alloy catalyst (CuPd 1 Rh –DAA), with mutually isolated Pd atoms alloyed on Cu substrate, is theoretically designed experimentally confirmed to be highly active selective UENC catalyst. Combining theoretical computations operando spectroscopic characterizations reveals the synergistic effect –Cu sites promote via tandem catalysis mechanism, where site triggers early C–N coupling promotes *CO –to–*CO NH steps, while facilitates subsequent protonation step *COOHNH toward formation. Impressively, CuPd –DAA assembled in flow cell presents highest Faradaic efficiency 72.1% yield rate 53.2 mmol h −1 g cat at −0.5 V versus RHE, representing nearly performance among all reported catalysts.

Green ammonia (NH3), made by using renewable electricity to split nearly limitless nitrogen (N2) molecules, is a vital platform molecule and an ideal fuel drive the sustainable development of human society without carbon dioxide emission. The NH3 electrosynthesis field currently faces dilemma low yield rate efficiency; however, decoupling overlapping issues this area providing guidelines for its directions are not trivial because it involves complex reaction process multidisciplinary entries (for example, electrochemistry, catalysis, interfaces, processes, etc.). In Perspective, we introduce classification scheme based on process, namely, direct (N2 reduction reaction) indirect (Li-mediated/plasma-enabled electrosynthesis). This categorization allows us finely decouple complicated pathways identify specific rate-determining steps/bottleneck each synthesis approach such as N2 activation, H2 evolution side reaction, solid-electrolyte interphase engineering, plasma etc. We then present detailed overview latest progresses solving these core in terms whole electrochemical system covering electrocatalysts, electrodes, electrolytes, electrolyzers, Finally, discuss research focuses promising strategies future with multiscale perspective atomistic mechanisms, nanoscale microscale electrodes/interfaces, macroscale electrolyzers/processes.

With the increasingly serious greenhouse effect, electrochemical carbon dioxide reduction reaction (CO2RR) has garnered widespread attention as it is capable of leveraging renewable energy to convert CO2 into value-added chemicals and fuels. However, performance CO2RR can hardly meet expectations because diverse intermediates complicated processes, necessitating exploitation highly efficient catalysts. In recent years, with advanced characterization technologies theoretical simulations, exploration catalytic mechanisms gradually deepened electronic structure catalysts their interactions intermediates, which serve a bridge facilitate deeper comprehension structure-performance relationships. Transition metal-based (TMCs), extensively applied in CO2RR, demonstrate substantial potential for further modulation, given abundance d electrons. Herein, we discuss representative feasible strategies modulate catalysts, including doping, vacancy, alloying, heterostructure, strain, phase engineering. These approaches profoundly alter inherent properties TMCs interaction thereby greatly affecting rate pathway CO2RR. It believed that rational design modulation fundamentally provide viable directions development toward conversion many other small molecules.
