Nickel phthalocyanine modified fruit-peel-derived carbon framework selectively electro-catalyzes CO2-to-CO conversion

Recent progress on nickel phthalocyanine-based electrocatalysts for CO2 reduction

“…Furthermore, other carbon materials can also significantly improve the CO 2 R performance of NiPc. Zhang et al 60 proposed a highly efficient strategy for immobilizing NiPc mole-cules onto the surface of a fruit-peel-derived carbon framework (NiPc/CF, with the carbon framework denoted as CF), resulting in outstanding CO production efficiency. The NiPc/CF catalyst exhibits an impressive FE surpassing 95.0% across a potential range of −0.7 to −0.9 V. Notably, the catalyst achieves a maximum FE of 99.1% at −0.8 V and an exceptional stability over a 10 h reaction process.…”
