Abstract

In this study, we encapsulated Bi in hollow carbon spheres to form a nanoreactor. It shows good activation ability for CO₂ and NO₃⁻, 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.
