Here we report a catalyst design that affords high selectivity to urea by sequentially reducing NO<jats:sub>3</jats:sub><jats:sup>−</jats:sup> and CO<jats:sub>2</jats:sub> at a dynamic catalytic centre, which not only alleviates the competition issue but also facilitates C−N coupling. We exemplify this strategy on a nitrogen-doped carbon catalyst, where a spontaneous switch between NO<jats:sub>3</jats:sub><jats:sup>−</jats:sup> and CO<jats:sub>2</jats:sub> reduction paths is enabled by reversible hydrogenation on the nitrogen functional groups. A high urea yield rate of 596.1 µg mg<jats:sup>−1</jats:sup> h<jats:sup>−1</jats:sup> with a promising Faradaic efficiency of 62% is obtained. These findings, rationalized by in situ spectroscopic techniques and theoretical calculations, are rooted in the proton-involved dynamic catalyst evolution that mitigates overwhelming reduction of reactants and thereby minimizes the formation of side products.</jats:p>"}]}],"creator":[{"@id":"https://cir.nii.ac.jp/crid/1380021396533087242","@type":"Researcher","foaf:name":[{"@value":"Yang Li"}]},{"@id":"https://cir.nii.ac.jp/crid/1380021396533087241","@type":"Researcher","foaf:name":[{"@value":"Hao Liu"}]},{"@id":"https://cir.nii.ac.jp/crid/1380021396533087232","@type":"Researcher","foaf:name":[{"@value":"Shisheng Zheng"}]},{"@id":"https://cir.nii.ac.jp/crid/1380021396533087238","@type":"Researcher","foaf:name":[{"@value":"Qi Xiong"}]},{"@id":"https://cir.nii.ac.jp/crid/1380021396533087234","@type":"Researcher","foaf:name":[{"@value":"Haocong Yi"}]},{"@id":"https://cir.nii.ac.jp/crid/1380021396533087237","@type":"Researcher","foaf:name":[{"@value":"Haibin Yang"}]},{"@id":"https://cir.nii.ac.jp/crid/1380021396533087244","@type":"Researcher","foaf:name":[{"@value":"Zongwei Mei"}]},{"@id":"https://cir.nii.ac.jp/crid/1380021396533087236","@type":"Researcher","foaf:name":[{"@value":"Zu-Wei Yin"}]},{"@id":"https://cir.nii.ac.jp/crid/1380021396533087239","@type":"Researcher","foaf:name":[{"@value":"Qinghe Zhao"}]},{"@id":"https://cir.nii.ac.jp/crid/1380021396533087235","@type":"Researcher","foaf:name":[{"@value":"Ming Huang"}]},{"@id":"https://cir.nii.ac.jp/crid/1380021396533087243","@type":"Researcher","foaf:name":[{"@value":"Yuan Lin"}]},{"@id":"https://cir.nii.ac.jp/crid/1380021396533087233","@type":"Researcher","foaf:name":[{"@value":"Weihong Lai"}]},{"@id":"https://cir.nii.ac.jp/crid/1380021396533087245","@type":"Researcher","foaf:name":[{"@value":"Shi-Xue Dou"}]},{"@id":"https://cir.nii.ac.jp/crid/1380021396533087246","@type":"Researcher","foaf:name":[{"@value":"Shunning Li"}]},{"@id":"https://cir.nii.ac.jp/crid/1380021396533087240","@type":"Researcher","foaf:name":[{"@value":"Feng Pan"}]}],"publication":{"publicationIdentifier":[{"@type":"EISSN","@value":"20411723"}],"prism:publicationName":[{"@value":"Nature Communications"}],"dc:publisher":[{"@value":"Springer Science and Business Media LLC"}],"prism:publicationDate":"2024-01-02","prism:volume":"15","prism:number":"1","prism:startingPage":"176"},"reviewed":"false","dc:rights":["https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0","https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0"],"url":[{"@id":"https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-023-44131-z.pdf"},{"@id":"https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-023-44131-z"}],"createdAt":"2024-01-02","modifiedAt":"2024-01-02","relatedProduct":[{"@id":"https://cir.nii.ac.jp/crid/1360302866858755328","@type":"Article","resourceType":"学術雑誌論文(journal article)","relationType":["isReferencedBy"],"jpcoar:relatedTitle":[{"@value":"Utilization of CO<sub>2</sub>-captured poly(allylamine) as a polymer surfactant for nanoarchitecture production in a closed CO<sub>2</sub> cycle"}]}],"dataSourceIdentifier":[{"@type":"CROSSREF","@value":"10.1038/s41467-023-44131-z"},{"@type":"CROSSREF","@value":"10.1039/d4su00121d_references_DOI_XkXxdU36eZW8py8VmC0j8aVAVGH"}]}
