Abstract

-driven cascade offers a favorable cost-control profile, enabled by efficient nitrogen utilization and integrated waste management. Beyond performance metrics, this work highlights how coupling nitrogen speciation with interfacial charge-proton coordination can unlock new reaction manifolds for sustainable C-N bond formation.
