Abstract

). It elucidates C-N coupling mechanisms, evaluates key performance metrics, and systematically presents catalyst design strategies (designing compositions/constructing heterostructures/elemental doping/defect engineering/constructing atomic-level catalysts). Persistent challenges and future directions are also discussed.
