Influence of a neighbouring Cu centre on electro- and photocatalytic CO₂ reduction by Fe-Mabiq

Abstract

Electrocatalytic and photocatalytic CO2 reduction by a heterobimetallic Cu/Fe–Mabiq complex were examined and compared to the monometallic [Fe(Mabiq)]+.

Bimetallic Fe/Co photothermal catalyst for fixing CO2 to cyclic carbonates under atmospheric pressure

“…Consequently, it is imperative to eliminate the increasing CO 2 by developing efficient technologies for capturing and converting it. As a green, non-toxic, abundant, and renewable C1 feedstock, CO 2 can be transformed into various valuable energy or chemical products through thermal catalysis, 4,5 photocatalysis, 6,7 photothermal catalysis, 8,9 electrocatalysis, 10,11 and other methodologies. For instance, employing these methods enables the conversion of CO 2 into high-value chemicals such as methane, 12,13 methanol, 14,15 acetic acid, 16 benzimidazole, 17,18 and cyclic carbonate.…”
