Abstract

The electrocatalytic synthesis of urea (ESU) is a green and sustainable alternative to conventional production methods, and the related research is still in its infancy. Up to now, the field has been explored by several reviews, however, the authors are focusing on some particular problems and could not provide a holistic view of the ESU. Based on these considerations, the novelty of this review lies in its comprehensive and systematic framework, as well as its in-depth analysis and general summary of several key issues. Hence, in this review, we critically evaluated the ESU through in-depth studies of various aspects, including nitrogen sources, catalysts choice, conditions modifications, detection methods, product calculations, and mechanisms evaluation, etc. In addition, after analyzing the reaction routes, reaction kinetics/thermodynamics and techno-economics assessment are also investigated. Finally, the summary and outlook are presented eventually, providing valuable insights for the related research. We believe that we will provide researchers with a comprehensive and clear picture of green synthesized urea, which is of great academic and practical significance.

电催化尿素合成的进展：从基础到应用

电催化合成尿素（ESU）是一种替代传统生产方法的绿色、可持续的方法，相关研究仍处于起步阶段。迄今为止，已有多篇综述对该领域进行了探讨，但作者们关注的都是一些特定的问题，无法对 ESU 提供一个整体的视角。基于上述考虑，本综述的新颖之处在于其全面、系统的框架，以及对几个关键问题的深入分析和概括总结。因此，在本综述中，我们通过对氮源、催化剂选择、条件修改、检测方法、产物计算和机理评估等各个方面的深入研究，对 ESU 进行了严格的评估。此外，在分析反应路线后，还研究了反应动力学/热力学和技术经济学评估。最后，我们进行了总结和展望，为相关研究提供了有价值的启示。我们相信，我们将为研究人员提供一个全面而清晰的绿色合成尿素的全貌，具有重要的学术和实践意义。
