Synthesizing urea from nitrate and carbon dioxide through an electrocatalysis approach under ambient conditions is extraordinarily sustainable. However, this approach still lacks electrocatalysts developed with high catalytic efficiencies, which is a key challenge. Here, we report the high-efficienc...
