Abstract Nickel‐based catalysts have been regarded as one of the most promising electrocatalysts for urea oxidation reaction (UOR), however, their activity is largely limited by the inevitable self‐oxidation reaction of Ni species (NSOR) during the UOR.

However, the UOR activity is severely limited by the high oxidation potential of Ni‐based catalysts to form Ni 3+ , which is considered as the active site for UOR.
