Topological materials have received much attention because of their robust topological surface states, which can be potentially applied in electronics and catalysis. Here, we show that the topological insulator bismuth selenide functions as an efficient catalyst for the oxidative carbonylation of amines with carbon monoxide and dioxygen to synthesize urea derivatives. For example, the carbonylation of butylamine can be completed over bismuth selenide nanoparticle catalyst in 4 hours at 20? with a yield of 99%, whereas most noble metal-based catalysts do not function at such a low temperature. Density functional theory calculations further reveal that the topological surface states facilitate the activation of dioxygen through a triplet-to-singlet spin-conversion reaction, in which active oxygen species are formed with a barrier of 0.4 electron volts for the subsequent reactions with amine and carbon monoxide.
