摘要

Closing both the carbon and nitrogen loops is a critical venture to supportthe establishment of the circular, net-zero carbon economy. Althoughsingle atom catalysts (SACs) have gained interest for the electrochemicalreduction reactions of both carbon dioxide (CO_2RR) and nitrate (NO_3RR),the structure–activity relationship for Cu SAC coordination for these reactionsremains unclear and should be explored such that a fundamentalunderstanding is developed. To this end, the role of the Cu coordinationstructure is investigated in dictating the activity and selectivity for the CO_2RRand NO_3RR. In agreement with the density functional theory calculations,it is revealed that Cu-N_4 sites exhibit higher intrinsic activity toward theCO2RR, whilst both Cu-N_4 and Cu-N_(4?x)-C_x sites are active toward the NO3RR.Leveraging these findings, CO2RR and NO3RR are coupled for the formationof urea on Cu SACs, revealing the importance of *COOH binding as acritical parameter determining the catalytic activity for urea production. Tothe best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first report employing SACsfor electrochemical urea synthesis from CO_2RR and NO_3RR, which achievesa Faradaic efficiency of 28% for urea production with a current density of?27 mA cm~(–2) at ?0.9 V versus the reversible hydrogen electrode.
