Abstract

Abstract Urea electrolysis presents an eco‐friendly, cost‐effective method for hydrogen (H 2 ) production and pollution control. However, its efficiency is limited by a slow 6‐electron transfer process, necessitating advanced electrocatalysts to accelerate the urea oxidation reaction (UOR) and moderate overpotential, thereby cutting energy losses. Developing efficient, affordable electrocatalysts is vital for practical urea electrolysis (UE) and improving UOR kinetics. Optimizing UOR electrocatalysts requires creating highly active sites, enhancing electrical conductivity, and manipulating electronic structures for improved electron transfer and intermediate binding affinities. This review explores recent…
