Direct electrosynthesis of acetamide from CO2 and nitrate via an atomically engineered dual-site catalyst
The electrocatalytic synthesis of amides from abundant small molecules offers a sustainable route for green chemical production, yet faces fundamental challenges due to kinetic competition between C–C and C–N bond formation. Here we show an atomically engineered dual-site catalyst featuring nickel single atoms adjacent...
