Electrochemical reduction of CO₂ by single atom catalyst TM–TCNQ monolayers

Abstract

Eight novel two-dimensional TM–TCNQ (TM = V–Zn) monolayers as highly efficient and selective electrocatalysts for CO2 reduction have been systematically studied and the underlying detailed reaction mechanisms have been revealed.

Efficient electrocatalytic reduction of carbon dioxide by metal-doped β12-borophene monolayers

“…[7][8][9][10][11][12] Due to their high specic surface area, reduced dimensionality and exotic properties, two-dimensional (2D) nanosheets have become an ideal platform for the design of novel electrocatalysts for CO 2 reduction. [13][14][15][16] Borophene is a novel 2D material under active investigation with fascinating and diverse properties and potential. 17 Recently, honeycomb borophene has been experimentally fabricated on an Al(111) substrate.…”

Two‐Dimensional Organometallic TM3–C12S12 Monolayers for Electrocatalytic Reduction of CO2

“…The reduction products include CH 4 (Sc and Ti), HCOOH (V, Cr, Mn, Ni, and Cu), HCHO (Fe and Co), and CO (Zn). The lowest overpotential is Mn–TCNQ as low as 0.12 V. [ ]…”

“…The reduction products include CH 4 (Sc and Ti), HCOOH (V, Cr, Mn, Ni, and Cu), HCHO (Fe and Co), and CO (Zn). The lowest overpotential is Mn-TCNQ as low as 0.12 V. [26] The TM 3 -C 12 S 12 monolayer acts as a two-dimensional organometallic coordination network. With its unique structure and electronic properties, it exhibits a variety of physical and chemical properties, useful for sensing, [27] spintronics, [28] photonic materials, [29] nanodevices [30] , and other fields.…”

A new class of organoplatinum-based DFNS for the production of cyclic carbonates from olefins and CO2

“…18,19 Due to their high specic surface area, reduced dimensionality and remarkable properties, two-dimensional (2D) nanosheets have become an ideal platform for the design of novel electrocatalysts for CO 2 reduction. [20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27] Borophene is a novel 2D material under active investigation due to its fascinating and diverse properties and potential. 28 The properties of borophene can be enhanced and extended by alloying with other elements.…”
