Dual-atom catalysts show potential for complex reactions, but their controllable preparation is challenging. A method to transform a Ni nanoparticle into a Ni2N6 dual-atom structure on a carbon support yields a catalyst with precisely controlled atomic site distances, giving excellent performance for CO2 electroreduction.
