Green Synthesis of Cyclic Carbonates from Epoxides and CO2 Using Transition Metal Substituted Polyoxometalate-PDDA Hybrid Catalysts

Recent research progress on polyoxometalate-based electrocatalysts in energy generation

“…2b). 64–66 For example, Liu et al synthesized a novel ruthenium-containing POM electrocatalyst, [{Ru 4 O 4 (OH) 2 (H 2 O) 4 }(γ-SiW 10 O 36 ) 2 10− ], aiming to achieve the efficient electrocatalytic oxidation of ethanol and methanol to aldehydes and acids by replacing tungsten on SiW 12 with the transition metal ruthenium (Fig. 3b).…”

Fractal growth of a fern-like nanostructured Cu2O film electrode for electrochemical reduction of CO2 to ethanol

“…The acceleration of anthropogenic pollutant CO 2 gas to the surfeit level has highlighted the urgent need to develop techniques to circumvent the issue. [1][2][3][4] Reduction of CO 2 has been achieved by various methods including thermochemical, 5,6 photocatalytic, [7][8][9] electrochemical, [10][11][12] and photo-electrochemical. 13,14 CO 2 conversion to obtain value-added products by an electrochemical approach is regarded as a promising and cost-effective strategy to recycle it and simultaneously address the global energy demand.…”
