Abstract The electrochemical construction of C–N bonds from abundant carbon-containing and nitrogen-containing small molecules is critical for the green synthesis of amides. However, the sole conversion without C–N coupling and low-value water splitting at the counter electrode are inevitable, leading to low selectivity and faradic efficiency.
