The electrocatalytic reduction of CO 2 (CO 2 RR) to high market value HCOOH is highly attractive and challenging in chemistry. p-Block metals (Sn, Bi, In, Pb, and Sb) are promising candidates to trigger CO 2 reduction to formate due to their specific stabilization of the HCOO* intermediate, while the high overpotential and low selectivity have now limited its practical application. Herein, we rationally designed a series of p-block single atom anchored MoS 2 monolayer catalysts for efficient electroreduction of CO 2 to formate by DFT methods. The systematic thermal evaluation demonstrates that single In, Sn, Sb, Tl, Pb, and Bi atoms could be atomically dispersed on 1T-MoS 2 with high stability and could potentially be synthesized in the experiment. We reveal that the catalytic CO 2 RR activity of a p-block metal is highly correlated with the degree of charge transfer between the metal and the substrate, with the higher charge distribution on the metal induced by a stronger interaction with the HCOO intermediate. Among the six concept SACs, single Sb-and Bi-atom-supported 1T-MoS 2 are identified as the most promising CO 2 RR catalysts to produce HCOOH, offering excellent energy efficiency and selectivity against the hydrogen evolution reaction.

This study provides a comprehensive review of recent advancements in photocatalytic and electrocatalytic carbon dioxide reduction using titanium dioxide catalysts. The basic concepts of light absorption, electron transport, and reduction processes are introduced in this paper, which also delves into the specifics of photocatalytic and electrocatalytic reduction of carbon dioxide. The paper highlights the key applications and benefits of titanium dioxide, including its strong stability, outstanding light absorption capacity, and good electron transport performance, in the photocatalytic and electrocatalytic reduction of carbon dioxide. Furthermore, it examines the impact of various surface modification techniques on catalytic performance, as well as the effects of various titanium dioxide catalyst forms on catalytic activity and selectivity in carbon dioxide reduction. The in‐depth analysis exhibit promising catalytic properties and hold significant potential for future advancements. However, some obstacles still need to be overcome, such as increasing catalytic activity and selectivity while minimizing energy dissipation. Additionally, the paper provides a scientific foundation for accomplishing sustainable carbon conversion, it also calls for additional experimental and theoretical research into the mechanism of action for titanium dioxide catalyst.
