Porous crystalline frameworks for thermocatalytic CO₂ reduction: an emerging paradigm

Abstract

Heterogeneous catalysts for CO2 reduction derived from porous, crystalline frameworks have emerged as efficient systems with comparable activity and superior selectivity to their inorganic counterparts. The spatial arrangement of active...

Understanding the water molecule effect in metal-free B-based electrocatalysts for electrochemical CO2 reduction

“…As SACs provide the maximum utilization of active atoms, excellent activity and selectivity, they have set off an upsurge in electrocatalysis, 9-13 photocatalysis [14][15][16][17][18][19] and thermocatalysis. 20,21 Various SACs have been designed and synthesized both experimentally and theoretically, especially for CO 2 RR. He et al 22 successfully synthesized a nitrogen-doped carbon-supported Pd SAC (Pd-NC).…”

Nanostructure@metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) for catalytic carbon dioxide (CO2) conversion in photocatalysis, electrocatalysis, and thermal catalysis

“…When Zr 4+ was replaced with Hf 4+ , Cu@Hf-UiO-66 can further triple for the methanol production rate. The charge transfer from Cu nanoparticles to UiO-66 support was suggested to be responsible for the activity enhancements of Cu [18,107,108].…”

Recent Progress on Photocatalytic CO2 Reduction with Earth‐abundant Single‐atom Reactive Sites

“…Hence, CO 2 reduction reaction (CO 2 RR) has attracted numerous attentions from researchers worldwide [3] . Different from the traditional thermocatalytic CO 2 RR which requires un‐sustainable energy, [4] photocatalytic CO 2 RR has been widely regarded as an ideal process during which CO 2 RR could be realized by electrons/holes upon photo‐excitation of semiconductor photocatalysts via solar irradiation, exhibiting significant advantages since photocatalytic reaction provides the possibility of performing reactions under mild conditions [5] …”
