Coordination of copper within a crystalline carbon nitride and its catalytic reduction of CO₂

Abstract

Inherently disordered structures of carbon nitrides have hindered an atomic level tunability and understanding of their catalytic reactivity. Starting from a crystalline carbon nitride, poly(triazine imide) or PTI, the coordination...

Bioinspired molecule-functionalized Cu with high CO adsorption for efficient CO electroreduction to acetate

“…8 Moreover, some catalysts are highly selective and active for CO 2 -to-CO conversion. 9–12 Owing to the balanced binding strength of CO, 13 Cu has shown great promise for the electrochemical CO reduction reaction (CORR) to synthesize high-value C 2+ products. In recent years, extensive strategies have been devoted to the design and development of Cu catalysts to enhance the activity and selectivity in the CORR, such as morphology tuning 14 and alloying with other transition metals.…”
