Herein, lattice\u2010distorted CeO\n                    <jats:sub>x<\/jats:sub>\n                    nanoparticles are introduced with abundant oxygen vacancies (O\n                    <jats:sub>V<\/jats:sub>\n                    ), confined within a porous carbon framework (\n                    <jats:italic>d<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2010CeO\n                    <jats:sub>x<\/jats:sub>\n                    \/PC), fabricated via a phyto\u2010hyperaccumulation confinement strategy. Precise structural modulation induces ultrasmall (\u22482\u00a0nm), uniformly dispersed, contracted Ce\u2500O bonds (\u22482.29 \u00c5) and creates a highly active environment for urea electrosynthesis. In situ ATR\u2010FTIR spectroscopy identifies key intermediates, confirming C\u2010N coupling pathway. Theoretical calculation reveals contracted bonds strengthen Ce 4f\u2010O 2p orbital hybridization, restricting lattice oxygen (O\n                    <jats:sub>L<\/jats:sub>\n                    ) migration and slowing O\n                    <jats:sub>V<\/jats:sub>\n                    diffusion\/annihilation. Simultaneously, bond contraction induces localized electron redistribution around O\n                    <jats:sub>V<\/jats:sub>\n                    . These O\n                    <jats:sub>V<\/jats:sub>\n                    promote mixed Ce\n                    <jats:sup>3+<\/jats:sup>\n                    \/Ce\n                    <jats:sup>4+<\/jats:sup>\n                    valence, while the highly covalent, contracted Ce\u2500O bonds stabilize Ce\n                    <jats:sup>3+<\/jats:sup>\n                    , forming localized \u201celectron reservoirs\u201d for flexible multi\u2010step electron transfer.

The porous carbon framework further improves durability (&gt;100\u00a0h) and active site accessibility.
