Catalyst-Free Urea Synthesis from Methanol and Nitrogen via Radical-Mediated Redox Coupling on Aqueous Microdroplets

Abstract Urea is an indispensable nitrogen fertilizer and an important feedstock for chemical synthesis. Compared to the energy-intensive Bosch–Meiser process, photocatalytic redox coupling offers a sustainable approach toward urea synthesis. However, artificial photosynthesis re...

Ferroelectric nitrogen-polar ScAlN heterostructures on 4H-SiC enabled by thin AlN buffer layers

The expansive functional landscape of ferroelectric nitrides has sharpened interest in host platforms that can preserve excellent structural quality while extending operation to high-temperature, harsh-environment regimes. 4H-SiC is especially compelling owing to its thermal robu...
