We discuss the environmental and energetic benefits of coupling nitrogenous waste treatment with the electrochemical conversion of CO₂ to value-added products via direct reduction or electrocarboxylation. In particular, we demonstrate that co-electrolysis of urea or ammonia with CO₂ requires significantly lower cell voltages than CO₂ electrolyzers relying on the oxygen evolution reaction as an anodic process.

两端都具有可持续性：电化学利用二氧化碳与含氮废物的电化学处理相结合

我们讨论了将含氮废物处理与通过直接还原或电羧化将CO ₂电化学转化为增值产品相结合的环境和能源优势。特别地，我们证明了尿素或氨与CO _2的共电解比依靠氧气析出反应作为阳极过程的CO ₂电解槽所需的电池电压低得多。
