Peripheral environmental effect for the electrochemical reduction of 1,2-dichloroethane over a single Co–N<sub>4</sub> site
The role of remote nonmetallic species remains underexplored for 1,2-dichloroethane (DCE) electrochemical dechlorination over single-metal sites. We demonstrated that a peripheral conjugated structure and nitrogen atoms accelerate the transformation of *CH<sub>2</sub>CH<sub>2</sub>Cl to *CH<sub>2</sub>CH<sub>2</sub> and ethylene desorption. CoPc achieved an FE<sub>ethylene</sub> of 95.19 ± 0.02% and a 75.8-fold increase in <i>J</i><sub>ethylene</sub>.
