Overview

Review reveals mechanisms of C–N coupling for urea production from CO2 and nitrates, suggesting catalyst design improvements.

Key Points

  • The aim is to elucidate the fundamental mechanisms involved in electrochemical C–N coupling reactions, particularly focusing on CO2/nitrate and CO2/N2 pathways.
  • Systematic review of experimental and theoretical analyses
  • Identification of key reactive intermediates such as *CO, *NH2, *NO2, and *NO
  • Assessment of the impact of catalyst microstructure on reaction outcomes
  • Identified dominant pathways for CO2/nitrate and CO2/N2 reactions
  • Clarified how changing catalyst microstructure affects intermediate binding and conversion
  • Provided a comprehensive overview linking experimental evidence to theoretical understanding
