Interstitial boron-triggered electron-deficient isolated Pd-In active-sites in ordered intermetallic metallene for enhanced electrosynthesis of urea.

Summary: Scientists have created a new, super-thin material to help make urea. Urea is an important chemical used in fertilizers to help grow our food. Usually, making it takes a lot of energy and creates pollution. By mixing specific metals (palladium and indium) and adding a tiny bit of boron, researchers made a special material called a "bimetallene." This acts like a spark plug, using electricity to turn simple carbon monoxide gas into useful urea much faster and cleaner than before!
