Direct ammoxidation of biomass-derived alcohols/aldehydes to nitriles faces challenges from N-species competitive adsorption, leading to low efficiency under harsh conditions. Herein, we report the rational design of a single-nitrogen-bridged Co-Ru dual-atom catalyst (CoRu-N-C) on nitrogen-doped carbon, enabling efficient ammoxidation at ambient conditions. At 35 °C and 1 bar air, CoRu-N-C achieved 98% yield of 2-furonitrile (FAN) with 73 mmol/g-metal/h productivity, representing a 3.5-fold enhancement compared to Co-N-C, and outperforming numerous reported noble/non-noble metal catalysts. Mechanistic studies reveal synergistic O2 and imine adsorption on low-coordinated CoN3 and RuN3 sites, mitigating imine-induced oxygen activation inhibition. Specifically, the strong O₂ adsorption on CoN3 forms superoxide radicals (O2-•) via electron transfer, driving a relay mechanism with proximally adsorbed imine to accelerate overall reaction kinetics. This work provides valuable insights for the design of stable and highly efficient ammoxidation catalysts operating under mild conditions.
