Challenges remain in the development of novel multifunctional electrocatalysts and their industrial operation on low‐electricity pair‐electrocatalysis platforms for the carbon cycle. Herein, an enzyme‐inspired single‐molecular heterojunction electrocatalyst ((NHx)16‐NiPc/CNTs) with specific atomic n...
