Facile synthesis of porous Cu-Sn alloy electrode with prior selectivity of formate in a wide potential range for CO2 electrochemical reduction

Dynamic Evolution of Active Sites in Electrocatalytic CO2 Reduction Reaction: Fundamental Understanding and Recent Progress

“…[50] In the case of alloy nanocrystals, atomic migration could take place continuously during CO 2 RR process, leading to the complicated element redistribution behaviors toward alloying, dealloying or segregation determined by element type, atomic ratio, and external conditions. [55][56][57] The Effect of Size: As usually mentioned in nanoscience, the size decreasing into nanoscale would bring the saltation in many properties of materials. The surface energy also sharply increases in this range due to the high percentage of exposed undercoordinated atoms at the surface.…”

Slag-based geopolymer microsphere-supported Cu: a low-cost and sustainable catalyst for CO2 hydrogenation

“…48,62 There was a satellite peak at 943.8 eV, and the peaks appearing at 934.4 eV and 953.6 eV were assigned to Cu( ii ). 63–66 It is difficult to distinguish between Cu( i ) and Cu(0) in the XPS experiment, so Cu LMM Auger Electron Spectroscopy (AES) was applied simultaneously (Fig. 6b).…”

Recent progress of Bi-based electrocatalysts for electrocatalytic CO2 reduction

“…82 As a consequence, Sn tends to be integrated with Bi to form BiSn bimetallic electrocatalysts for the research community to comprehensively investigate CO 2 RR-associated parameters, performances and product selectivity, but showing lower frequency compared with other types of binary metallic electrocatalysts. [84][85][86][87][88] Despite all this, recent discoveries with respect to BiSn binary electrocatalysts for the CO 2 RR have been systematically reviewed in this section (Table 2).…”
