Interstitial boron-triggered electron-deficient isolated Pd–In active-sites in ordered intermetallic metallene for enhanced electrosynthesis of urea
A B-doped Pd-In intermetallic bimetallene was synthesized for urea electrosynthesis from CO<sub>2</sub> and NO<sub>3</sub><sup>-</sup>. The ordered arrangement of Pd and In sites in the intermetallic structure can meet the distinct requirements for NO<sub>3</sub><sup>-</sup>/CO<sub>2</sub> adsorption and activation. Moreover, the interstitial doping of B atoms can regulate the electronic structure of Pd and In active sites and promote the generation of key intermediates and C-N coupling reactions.
