Boosting small-molecule reduction with bismuth-based nanostructured reactors
In this study, we encapsulated Bi in hollow carbon spheres to form a nanoreactor. It shows good activation ability for CO<sub>2</sub> and NO<sub>3</sub><sup>-</sup>, and significantly enhances the coupling of C-N intermediates. This improves urea selectivity by 66% compared to unencapsulated Bi-based catalysts and shows good stability.
