Two‐Dimensional Metal–Organic Frameworks‐Based Electrocatalysts for Oxygen Evolution and Oxygen Reduction Reactions

“…The facile dissociation of the O═O/O—O bonds strongly decreases the Gibbs free energy (Δ G ) change of the ORR. [ 112 ]…”

Cryo-induced closely bonded heterostructure for effective CO2 conversion: The case of ultrathin BP nanosheets/g-C3N4

“…Therefore, capturing and reducing CO 2 , which converted CO 2 into high value-added carbon products, was considered as one of the most promising path access to overcome the crisis and reduce its impact. Currently, the technology of CO 2 reduction was highly concerned and developed by researchers, including the plasma conversion [4] , electrochemical conversion [5] and photocatalytic conversion [6] . Among of them, due to the advantages of green and less cost, photocatalytic CO 2 reduction had attracted widespread attention.…”

Ultrasmall 2 D CoxZn2−x(Benzimidazole)4 Metal–Organic Framework Nanosheets and their Derived Co Nanodots@Co,N‐Codoped Graphene for Efficient Oxygen Reduction Reaction

“…Although efforts have been made to increase the loading of single‐atom metal sites in carbon materials, aggregation of the loaded metal atoms inevitably occurs as the loading increases, resulting in the formation of metal or metal alloy nanoparticles . Theoretically, metal nanoparticles could also be catalytically active for breaking the O=O/O−O bonds owing to their excellent electron‐donating ability, which could greatly reduce the change of the Gibbs free energy (Δ G ) of the ORR. However, in practical use, metal nanoparticles usually do not exhibit a satisfactory catalytic activity toward the ORR owing to their poor O 2 absorptivity and low stability in aqueous electrolytes.…”
