Construction of cobalt-copper bimetallic oxide heterogeneous nanotubes for high-efficient and low-overpotential electrochemical CO2 reduction

Construction of an FeNi-Mo2C@SiO2monolith electrocatalyst with an increased number of active sites and enhanced intrinsic activity toward water oxidation

“…To address this issue, carbon materials are commonly adopted as metal catalyst supports. 21–23 Herein silica oxide (SiO 2 ) was chosen as the catalyst support instead of a carbon material. Compared to carbon, SiO 2 is relatively stable in operation at high potentials due to its physically inert and chemically stable properties.…”

Promoted Formation of Catalytically Active Species in Ni Nanoparticles by Low Content Ru Doping for Electrocatalytic Oxidation of 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural

“…To facilitate the formation of catalytically active species and improve the stability of the catalyst, some approaches have been reported including doping effect 17−19 and the confinement protection of the carbon layer. 20,21 For instance, the introduction of Pt nanoparticles on Ni(OH) 2 been found to enhance the redox performance of Ni(OH) 2 and optimize the adsorption energy of HMF. 22 Furthermore, studies have revealed that Fe or Ce doping on Ni-based catalysts can significantly reduce the overpotential, improve the stability, and accelerate the formation of high-valence active Ni species.…”

Constructing an all zero-dimensional CsPbBr3/CdSe heterojunction for highly efficient photocatalytic CO2reduction

“…Artificial photosynthesis using solar-energy-driven CO 2 conversion into valuable clean fuels has been regarded as a promising pathway to simultaneously address the energy crisis and environmental problems. 1–4 Accordingly, enormous efforts have been devoted to exploring advanced photocatalytic materials for efficient CO 2 reduction, 5–9 ranging from noble metals, molecular/metal complexes, and conductive polymers, to inorganic semiconductors. 10–13 Nevertheless, CO 2 conversion still suffers from low activity, large energy consumption, and serious charge recombination owing to its complex multielectron reduction reaction kinetics.…”
