Abstract
Electrochemical urea synthesis is a promising technology for carbon utilization. Herein, we report a CoPc-MoS2 system for promoting urea synthesis by a C-N coupling reaction. Dual metal sites mediate N2 activation and CO2 adsorption insertion to produce a urea yield of 175.6 μg h−1 mgcat−1 at −0.7 V vs. RHE.
