RuO2-based catalysts remain limited stability, primarily due to intrinsic Ru site overoxidation and lattice oxygen loss during operation, which motivates intensive study into their understanding and mitigating these inactivation mechanisms.

Urea-assisted water electrolysis (UAWE) offers a sustainable hydrogen production pathway with simultaneous wastewater remediation. However, its commercialization is hindered by high cost, toxic intermediates, chemical structural complexity of catalysts, and limited long-term stability. In recent years, transition metal phosphides (TMPs) have been identified as promising electrocatalysts for UAWE, attributed to their high conductivity, favorable catalytic activity, enhanced energy efficiency, and relatively good stability. The surface passivation, structural reconstruction during electrolysis operation, and the leaching of phosphorus at the electrode–electrolyte interface can significantly affect long-term stability. In this review, we systematically explored diverse hybrid electrolysis with a specific focus on UAWE as the central platform for TMP electrocatalysts. The coupled HER and UOR mechanisms underlying the fundamental electrochemical principles, key synthesis and materials engineering strategies are discussed in relation to their roles in improving catalytic performance. Further, recent advances in TMPs electrocatalysts for UAWE are comprehensively reviewed with respect to catalytic activity, energy efficiency, durability, and cost-effectiveness.

While conventional catalyst design has predominantly focused on surface binding energies, the critical role of the electrode–electrolyte interface, specifically the structure of interfacial water, remains underexplored. In this study, we aim to address this gap by reporting on a gadolinium (Gd)-doped Cu2O electrocatalyst that utilizes the high oxophilicity of lanthanides to engineer a free water-rich interfacial microenvironment, enabling high ethanol selectivity. Operating at an industrially relevant 800 mA cm−2 in a flow cell, the catalyst achieves ethanol Faradaic efficiencies of 46.5% and 48.5% in alkaline and neutral electrolytes, respectively. Remarkably, the ethanol partial current density reaches 527.8 mA cm−2 at 1200 mA cm−2. Operando spectroscopy reveals that Gd dopants disrupt the rigid, ice-like interfacial hydrogen-bonding network, enriching non-coordinated free water. This disordered environment enhances proton availability, facilitating the selective hydrogenation of *OCCO intermediates to ethanol-forming species (e.g., *OCCOH) while suppressing ethylene generation.
