“…Electrochemical carbon dioxide reduction reaction (CO 2 RR) takes place at the interface between the electrode and electrolyte, involving a series of substeps: (1) adsorption of CO 2 onto the surface of catalyst, (2) breaking C–O bond or forming C–H bond via electron and proton transfer, and (3) desorption of products from the catalyst surface followed by diffusion into the electrolyte . The most crucial challenges in this field lie in the rational design of materials with appropriate adsorption thermodynamics and the investigation of competing reactions’ mechanisms to regulate reaction pathways and products. , …”

“…42 The most crucial challenges in this field lie in the rational design of materials with appropriate adsorption thermodynamics and the investigation of competing reactions' mechanisms to regulate reaction pathways and products. 43,44 Cu-based materials are usually used for the CO 2 RR to produce ethylene, along with others, including oxygenated hydrocarbons. Our group show the hcp Co nanosheets (NSs) can achieve carbon−carbon coupling and exhibit unique catalysis for CO 2 conversion to CH 3 CHO (60% FE) with the total FE to C-products reaching 82% (Figure 6c).…”

Metrics & MoreArticle Recommendations CONSPECTUS: Rare earth interface structure materials (RE-ISM) play a crucial role in the field of inorganic synthesis and provide an effective means of achieving the refined utilization of rare earth elements. By capitalizing on the unique properties of rare earth, these materials are designed for functional applications at interfaces. Given the escalating energy and environmental concerns, there is an urgent need to expedite the development of efficient pathways for clean energy storage and conversion. Electrocatalytic conversion of an energetic small molecule is an efficient way of energy storage and conversion with clean energy as the carrier. However, the development of catalysts is often constrained by limitations in the catalyst system and a lack of clarity regarding synthesis and reaction processes. It provides new opportunities for the design of energetic small molecule catalytic materials by developing RE-ISM and analyzing the dynamic evolution process across time and space dimensions.In this Account, we mainly focus on the research progress in the synthesis, application, and mechanism of RE-ISM in order to effectively design high-performance materials. RE-ISM are classified into three categories based on the rare earth interface structure and the size of the substrate, following the guidance provided by the phase diagram. It mainly includes atomic interfaces, cluster interfaces, and heterstructures. By strategically designing diverse rare earth interface structures, it is feasible to effectively synthesize catalytic material systems that are tailored toward a multitude of functional applications. The synthesized RE-ISM is employed for electrocatalytic energy conversion of small molecules, offering novel prospects for catalytic electrode materials. The redox reaction process in both negative and positive grades involves the conversion of functional structural molecules through electron transfer. RE-ISM are effective catalysts for facilitating such conversion reactions. Achieving efficient construction of RE-ISM necessitates an indepth analysis of catalytic reaction mechanisms by employing in situ spectroscopy technology. The transformation process of morphology, structure, and mechanism of RE-ISM in the catalytic process was analyzed from the perspective of time resolution, spatial resolution, and spectral resolution. We elucidate the correlation between the rare earth interface interaction mechanism and the intrinsic structure based on a cognitive foundation of in situ process analysis. This provides theoretical support for the design of high-performance RE-ISM. In summary, we expect that the development of RE-ISM will provide new design ideas and insights for inorganic energy small molecule conversion materials and further promote the rapid development of high performance electrocatalytic materials.

Carbon circularity is crucial for achieving a circular economy but has wider implications and impacts with respect to the circularity of materials. It has an in‐depth transformative effect on the economy. CO2 recycling is a critical component for this objective, with catalysis and inorganic chemistry playing a determining role in achieving this challenge. This concept paper presents some examples, as food for thought, of unconventional aspects in developing thermal and electro/photocatalysts for recycling CO2. The aspects discussed regard designing novel materials for CO2 thermo‐ or electro‐conversion and developing novel nanostructured electrodes.
