“…reported that a Cu‐in‐Ag dilute alloy could achieve CO to acetate conversion with an ultrahigh FE of 85% in a gas‐phase flow cell with a partial current density of 85 mA cm −2 , and a catalytic stability test of a staggering 820 h was achieved. [ 295 ] The avoidance of (bi)carbonation problems in the nature of CORR makes it highly adaptable to the gas‐phase flow cell, which can achieve rapid CO conversion by virtue of the alkaline environment on the catalytic surface brought by the gas‐phase AEM electrolyzer and avoid (bi)carbonation encountered in CO 2 RR, endowing the whole system with exceptionally excellent stability and energy efficiency.…”

Electrochemical carbon dioxide reduction reaction (CO2RR) driven by renewable energy shows great promise in mitigating and potentially reversing the devastating effects of anthropogenic climate change and environmental degradation. The simultaneous synthesis of energy‐dense chemicals can meet global energy demand while decoupling emissions from economic growth. However, the development of CO2RR technology faces challenges in catalyst discovery and device optimization that hinder their industrial implementation. In this contribution, we provide a comprehensive overview of the current state of CO2RR research, starting with the background and motivation for this technology, followed by the fundamentals and evaluated metrics. We then discuss the underlying design principles of electrocatalysts, emphasizing their structure–performance correlations and advanced electrochemical assembly cells that can increase CO2RR selectivity and throughput. Finally, we look to the future and identify opportunities for innovation in mechanism discovery, material screening strategies, and device assemblies to move toward a carbon‐neutral society.This article is protected by copyright.

As the global climate crisis intensifies, ecosystems, human society and economic activities are significantly affected. Countries around the world have successively put forward the goal of carbon neutrality or zero carbon. At the 75th session of the United Nations General Assembly, the Chinese government explicitly proposed making efforts to reach the goal of Carbon Peak (peak of carbon emissions before 2030) and Carbon Neutrality (Dual Carbon) (carbon neutrality before 2060). In October 2021, the CPC Central Committee and the State Council issued the “Opinions on Fully, Accurately and Comprehensively Implementing the New Development Concepts to Achieve Carbon Peak and Carbon Neutrality” and the Action Plan for Achieving Carbon Peak before 2030, specifying the targets and tasks related to achieving carbon peak and carbon neutrality in China. As the world's largest developing country, the world's largest manufacturer, and a country with the most complete industrial categories, China will face multiple challenges such as climate change, economic transition, and environmental protection, which requires systematic support from policy, economy, technology, and society. How to achieve the goal will be a great challenge to China's sustainable development. The academic community has conducted extensive exploration on the realization of China's carbon peak and carbon neutrality in many fields, such as energy transformation, industrial structure upgrading, transportation carbon reduction, urban planning and construction, carbon sink enhancement, low‐carbon technologies, green finance, and supporting policies. Among them, policy planning and technological innovation are the most important to achieve the goal of carbon peak and carbon neutrality. Second, industrial adjustment and enterprise implementation are also important. Therefore, this review will focus on the development status and prospects of policy support, technological innovation, industrial adjustment, and enterprise implementation for achieving dual carbon goals in China. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry and John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

“…An efficient electrode material typically possesses several critical attributes, including high surface area to supply abundant active sites for contact with reactants and intermediates, controllable layer gaps to support the transport of reactive ions with different radius, low cost to enable large-scale catalyst utilization, and facile regulation of its structure to suit a broad range of applications. − Among all available catalyst options, the emergence of two-dimensional (2D) energy nanomaterials like transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), layered double hydroxides (LDHs), MXene, graphene, and black phosphorus (BP) has revolutionized the field of energy storage and conversion. − The unique properties exhibited by these materials make them promising candidates for various applications. , There have several reviews that summarized the great potentials of 2D materials. − However, understanding and characterizing the structure and properties of 2D energy nanomaterials pose significant challenges due to their nanosized nature. In this context, synchrotron radiation techniques have emerged as powerful tools for investigating the structural, electronic, and chemical properties of these materials with high precision and sensitivity. − The high brightness, tunability, and penetrating power of synchrotron radiation enable researchers to explore the intricate properties of these materials at the nanoscale. This knowledge is crucial for tailoring the properties of 2D energy nanomaterials and designing efficient devices for energy applications.…”

In recent years, there has been significant interest in the development of twodimensional (2D) nanomaterials with unique physicochemical properties for various energy applications. These properties are often derived from the phase structures established through a range of physical and chemical design strategies. A concrete analysis of the phase structures and real reaction mechanisms of 2D energy nanomaterials requires advanced characterization methods that offer valuable information as much as possible. Here, we present a comprehensive review on the phase engineering of typical 2D nanomaterials with the focus of synchrotron radiation characterizations. In particular, the intrinsic defects, atomic doping, intercalation, and heterogeneous interfaces on 2D nanomaterials are introduced, together with their applications in energy-related fields. Among them, synchrotron-based multiple spectroscopic techniques are emphasized to reveal their intrinsic phases and structures. More importantly, various in situ methods are employed to provide deep insights into their structural evolutions under working conditions or reaction processes of 2D energy nanomaterials. Finally, conclusions and research perspectives on the future outlook for the further development of 2D energy nanomaterials and synchrotron radiation light sources and integrated techniques are discussed.
