Recent advances in electrocatalytic urea synthesis via N2 and CO2 coupling: mechanisms, catalyst design and reactor engineering.
As a pivotal nitrogen fertilizer and versatile industrial feedstock, urea (CO(NH2)2) is predominantly synthesized via the Bosch-Meiser process, which is a high-temperature, high-pressure catalytic route, accompanied by substantial energy consumption and considerable CO2 emissions. In light of global imperatives for car...
