CoN4 active sites in a graphene matrix for the highly efficient electrocatalysis of CO2 reduction

Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) for photoelectrocatalytic (PEC) reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) to hydrocarbon fuels

“…Catalytic technologies, [9][10][11][12][13][14][15] including thermal catalysis (TC), [16][17][18][19] photocatalysis (PC), [20][21][22][23][24][25][26] electrocatalysis (EC), [27][28][29][30][31][32] and PEC, can convert CO 2 into higher-value-added products and realize the resource utilization of CO 2 . However, the CO 2 molecule has a stable linear symmetric structure due to the sp hybridization between the C and O atoms, and the energy needed to break the CvO bond is typically large (750 kJ mol −1 ).…”

Metal–organic framework-derived single atom catalysts for electrocatalytic reduction of carbon dioxide to C1 products

“…[35][36][37][38][39] Fig. 2 summarizes different reported metal centers in SACs for eCO 2 RR, which include three types based on the nature of the metal centers: (1) transition metals (Co, 40,41 Fe, 42,43 Ni, 44,45 Cu, 46,47 Zn 48,49 and Mo 50,51 ), (2) noble metals (Pd, 52,53 Au 54 and Ag 55,56 ) and (3) p-block elements (Sn [57][58][59] and Bi 60 ).…”
