Interfacial engineering of carbon quantum dot/metal-organic framework heterostructures for boosted urea electrosynthesis from carbon dioxide and nitrate.

Electrocatalytic urea synthesis from CO2 and NO3- offers a sustainable alternative to conventional energy-intensive industrial processes. However, it remains hindered by sluggish CN coupling kinetics and mismatched CO2/NO3- reduction rates. Herein, a…
