Abstract:The continuous increase of CO2 concentration in the atmosphere has been imposing an imminent threat for global climate change and environmental hazards. In recent years, the electrochemical or photochemical conversion of CO2 into value‐added chemicals or fuels has received significant attention, as it may enable an attractive means to mitigate the atmospheric CO2 concentration and complete the imbalanced carbon‐neutral energy cycle, as well as create renewable energy resources for human use. Among the differen… Show more
“…11,12 Copper (Cu) based nanomaterials show the potential capability to generate various hydrocarbons. [13][14][15][16] Nevertheless, these inorganic Cu compounds suffer from low efficiency and selectivity for CO 2 conversion towards hydrocarbon production. [17][18][19][20] Recently, porous metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) constructed from the coordination bonds of organic ligands and metal ions have attracted extensive interest.…”
Cathodized Cu-MOFs (Cu–ade MOFs) exhibit structural evolution and contribute to efficient electrochemical CO2 reduction towards hydrocarbon generation.

“…Copper is the only type III of catalyst. It has a strong binding to the intermediate state *CO and can be further reduced to form a *COH or *CHO intermediate state [39,40]. The products of copper-based material are abundant and can include hydrocarbons and alcohol molecules with 2-3 carbon atoms [41].…”
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
