Unveiling the Electrooxidation of Urea: Intramolecular Coupling of the N-N Bond

Wei Chen et al.

Summary: This study delves into the crucial role of nitrogenous nucleophile electrooxidation reaction (NOR) in the degradation and transformation of available nitrogen, particularly focusing on the transformation mechanism mediated by the beta-Ni(OH)(2) electrode. The study proposes the role of proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) in bridging the electrocatalytic dehydrogenation and spontaneous nucleophile dehydrogenative oxidation reaction, with a specific focus on the urea oxidation reaction (UOR). Through both operando tracing and theoretical calculations, a mechanism for UOR involving intramolecular coupling of the N-N bond, accompanied by PCET, hydration, and rearrangement processes, is proposed to achieve high performance and approximately 100% N-2 selectivity. These findings shed light on the evolution of nitrogenous molecules during NOR, as well as fundamental aspects of electrocatalysis involving nitrogen-containing species.
