Abstract
In this study, we encapsulated Bi in hollow carbon spheres to form a nanoreactor. It shows good activation ability for CO2 and NO3-, and significantly enhances the coupling of C-N intermediates. This improves urea selectivity by 66% compared to unencapsulated Bi-based catalysts and shows good stability.
