Selective urea electrosynthesis nitrate and CO reduction on uncoordinated Zn nanosheets.

Electroreduction of NO and CO to urea (ENCU) represents a fascinating strategy to enable waste NO/CO removal and sustainable urea production. Herein, uncoordinated Zn nanosheets (U-Zn) are developed as a highly selective ENCU catalyst, exhibiting the highest urea-faradaic efficiency of 31.8% with the corresponding urea yield rate of 39.
