Carbon dioxide and nitrate co-electroreduction to urea on CuO x ZnO y

Abstract Urea is a commonly used nitrogen fertiliser synthesised from ammonia and carbon dioxide using thermal catalysis. This process results in high carbon dioxide emissions associated with the required amounts of ammonia. Electrocatalysis provides an alternative method to urea production with red...
