A Universal Approach for Sustainable Urea Synthesis via Intermediate Assembly at the Electrode/Electrolyte Interface

Abstract Electrocatalytic C−N coupling process is indeed a sustainable alternative for direct urea synthesis and co‐upgrading of carbon dioxide and nitrate wastes. However, the main challenge lies in the unactivated C−N coupling process. Here, we proposed a strategy of intermediate assembly with alkali metal cations to activate C−N coupling at the electrode/electrolyte interface. Urea synthesis activity follows the trend of Li +
