“…The formate enhancement was smaller than that (7.5%) after In deposition. This also confirms that In was more efficient for formate production, in good consistency with the literature (Ma et al, 2019;Murali et al, 2019;Zhang et al, 2019;Hou et al, 2020;Yang et al, 2020;Li et al, 2021;Ma et al, 2021;Teng et al, 2021;Wei et al, 2021;Wu et al, 2021;Xiao et al, 2021). The FE(%) of CO was slightly increased while that of H 2 was substantially decreased by ×0.32, compared with those for bare ZnO NR .…”

“…Several reasons were plausibly proposed. In the present study, we used a 2 mm thick Zn plate different from those (e.g., powder in carbon paste) in the literature (Sekimoto et al, 2016;Tatsumi et al, 2017;Kikkawa et al, 2018;Lu et al, 2018;Qin et al, 2018;Yamamoto et al, 2018;Zhang et al, 2018;Liu et al, 2019;Ma et al, 2019;Murali et al, 2019;Zhang et al, 2019;Akatsuka et al, 2020;Daiyan et al, 2020;Hou et al, 2020;Luo et al, 2020;Tan et al, 2020;Yang et al, 2020;Deng et al, 2021;Li et al, 2021;Liang et al, 2021;Ma et al, 2021;Teng et al, 2021;Wang et al, 2021;Wei et al, 2021;Wu et al, 2021;Xiao et al, 2021;Yoon et al, 2021).

“…Electrochemical CO 2 reduction is a promising method, and the development of electrodes is a major goal for approaching practical application in the industry. Among many materials such as pure metals and metal oxides, ZnO, indium (In), and Ga 2 O 3 show very unique CO 2 reduction products after electrochemical reaction (Sekimoto et al, 2016;Tatsumi et al, 2017;Kikkawa et al, 2018;Lu et al, 2018;Qin et al, 2018;Yamamoto et al, 2018;Zhang et al, 2018;Liu et al, 2019;Ma et al, 2019;Murali et al, 2019;Zhang et al, 2019;Akatsuka et al, 2020;Daiyan et al, 2020;Hou et al, 2020;Luo et al, 2020;Tan et al, 2020;Yang et al, 2020;Deng et al, 2021;Li et al, 2021;Liang et al, 2021;Ma et al, 2021;Teng et al, 2021;Wang et al, 2021;Wei et al, 2021;Wu et al, 2021;Xiao et al, 2021;Yoon et al, 2021).…”

“…Because of optical band gaps near 400 nm, it has been used extensively as good photo(electro)catalysts ( Ansari et al, 2013 ; Choi et al, 2015 ; Kang et al, 2019 ; Yu et al, 2020 ). For metallic In, it has been used for formate (or CO) production by the electrochemical method ( Ma et al, 2019 ; Murali et al, 2019 ; Zhang et al, 2019 ; Hou et al, 2020 ; Yang et al, 2020 ; Li et al, 2021 ; Ma et al, 2021 ; Teng et al, 2021 ; Wei et al, 2021 ; Wu et al, 2021 ; Xiao et al, 2021 ), where two major reaction channels include 1) forming surface CO (from HOOC ad ) and 2) surface OCHO ( Li et al, 2021 ). Desirable CO 2 reduction products have been obtained by modification of In surface that include hybridization (metal/metal and metal-nonmetal), defects, core-shells, and synthetic methods ( Ma et al, 2019 ; Murali et al, 2019 ; Zhang et al, 2019 ; Hou et al, 2020 ; Yang et al, 2020 ; Li et al, 2021 ; Ma et al, 2021 ; Teng et al, 2021 ; Wei et al, 2021 ; Wu et al, 2021 ; Xiao et al, 2021 ).…”

Recycled valuable energy production by the electrochemical CO2 reduction method has explosively researched using countless amounts of developed electrocatalysts. Herein, we have developed hybrid sandwiched Ga2O3:ZnO/indium/ZnO nanorods (GZO/In/ZnONR) and tested their photoelectrocatalytic CO2 reduction performances. Gas chromatography and nuclear magnetic spectroscopy were employed to examine gas and liquid CO2 reduction products, respectively. Major products were observed to be CO, H2, and formate whose Faradaic efficiencies were highly dependent on the relative amounts of overlayer GZO and In spacer, as well as applied potential and light irradiation. Overall, the present study provides a new strategy of controlling CO2 reduction products by developing a sandwiched hybrid catalyst system for energy and environment.

Catalytic Upgrading of Clean Biogas to Synthesis Gas

et al. 2022

Clean biogas, produced by anaerobic digestion of biomasses or organic wastes, is one of the most promising substitutes for natural gas. After its purification, it can be valorized through different reforming processes that convert CH4 and CO2 into synthesis gas (a mixture of CO and H2). However, these processes have many issues related to the harsh conditions of reaction used, the high carbon formation rate and the remarkable endothermicity of the reforming reactions. In this context, the use of the appropriate catalyst is of paramount importance to avoid deactivation, to deal with heat issues and mild reaction conditions and to attain an exploitable syngas composition. The development of a catalyst with high activity and stability can be achieved using different active phases, catalytic supports, promoters, preparation methods and catalyst configurations. In this paper, a review of the recent findings in biogas reforming is presented. The different elements that compose the catalytic system are systematically reviewed with particular attention on the new findings that allow to obtain catalysts with high activity, stability, and resistance towards carbon formation.

Various electrocatalysts are extensively examined for their ability to selectively produce desired products by electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR). However, an efficient CO2RR electrocatalyst doesn't ensure an effective co‐catalyst on the semiconductor surface for photoelectrochemical CO2RR. Herein, Bi2S3 nanorods are synthesized and electrochemically reduced to Bi nanoplates that adhere to the substrates for application in the electrochemical and photoelectrochemical CO2RR. Compared with commercial‐Bi, the Bi2S3‐derived Bi (S‐Bi) nanoplates on carbon paper exhibit superior electrocatalytic activity and selectivity for formate (HCOO−) in the electrochemical CO2RR, achieving a Faradaic efficiency exceeding 93%, with minimal H2 production over a wide potential range. This highly selective S‐Bi catalyst is being employed on the Si photocathode to investigate the behavior of electrocatalysts during photoelectrochemical CO2RR. The strong adhesion of the S‐Bi nanoplates to the Si nanowire substrate and their unique catalytic properties afford exceptional activity and selectivity for HCOO− under simulated solar irradiation. The selectivity observed in electrochemical CO2RR using the S‐Bi catalyst correlates with that seen in the photoelectrochemical CO2RR system. Combined pulsed potential methods and theoretical analyses reveal stabilization of the OCHO* intermediate on the S‐Bi catalyst under specific conditions, which is critical for developing efficient catalysts for CO2‐to‐HCOO− conversion.
