Modulating carbon dioxide activation on carbon nanotube immobilized salophen complexes by varying metal centers for efficient electrocatalytic reduction

Controllable Preparation, Working Mechanisms, and Actual Application of Various One-Dimensional Nanomaterials as Catalysts for CO2RR: A Review

“…Introducing bimetallic structures into electrocatalysts is a new strategy. − In electrocatalysts, the introduction of bimetallic materials can provide an interface effect different from that of a single metal. − An interface effect refers to the interaction between two or more different components forming alloys or heterojunctions with similar structures in a kind of catalyst. And interface effects also play a crucial role in the application of electrocatalysts.…”

Mechanistic insights into the electrochemical reduction of CO2 to CO on Ni(salphen) complexes

“…25 The capability of reducing CO 2 to CO has been found in a variety of transition metal complexes, ranging from 3d metals to heavier ones. 9,10,[26][27][28][29][30] Nickel, the metal that interests us in this work, has been widely applied to this problem. [Ni(II) cyclam]Cl 2 (cyclam = 1,4,8,11-tetra-azacyclotetradecane) was reported to electrochemically reduce CO 2 in an efficient way in 1984, the process being still favourable in water, since water reduction was much slower.…”
