“…Further, DFT results identify that the edge‐anchored unsaturated three nitrogen coordinated Ni single atoms exhibit better activity for electrochemical conversion of CO 2 to CO compared with in‐plane structures. Figure 12 summarizes the common engineering strategies for improving the catalytic activity of carbon‐based electrocatalysts, for which geometry and electronic structure play a significant role in CO 2 reduction 81 . Adjusting the surface area, dimensionality and porosity increases the number of active sites, while doping and defect engineering are used to enhance the inherent activity of active sites.…”

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is regarded as a major contributor to global warming and the climate crisis. To mitigate its negative impacts, a potential strategy is adopted, namely converting CO2 into renewable fuels or valuable chemicals. Because of the sluggish thermodynamic and kinetic processes, catalysts (photocatalysts or electrocatalysts) are essential during CO2 reduction. In this review, fundamental concepts, catalytic principles and reaction pathways related to photocatalysis and electrocatalysis for CO2 reduction are provided, along with a survey of the progress in the rational design of new photocatalysts and electrocatalysts for CO2 reduction. Discussions in the field are mainly focused on the design strategies of catalysts that have been introduced to increase visible light excitation, improve charge separation and enhance CO2 adsorption of photocatalysts and alter electronic and geometric properties of electrocatalysts. Finally, recommendations and outlook for improving the selectivity of CO2 reduction and in achieving efficient, stable and selective CO2 photocatalysts or electrocatalysts are pointed out. © 2020 Society of Chemical Industry

“…In addition, the doping of heteroatoms (N, B, P, etc.) [30] and the introduction of metal single atoms (Ni, Mn, Cu, etc. ) [31][32][33] can change the electronic structure of carbon nanomaterials, increase the number of active sites and the activity of each active site, and stabilize the intermediate products of CO 2 reduction better, so as to improve performances for ECR.…”

Electrocatalytic carbon dioxide (CO2) reduction (ECR) has become one of the main methods to close the broken carbon cycle and temporarily store renewable energy, but there are still some problems such as poor stability, low activity, and selectivity. While the most promising strategy to improve ECR activity is to develop electrocatalysts with low cost, high activity, and long-term stability. Recently, defective carbon-based nanomaterials have attracted extensive attention due to the unbalanced electron distribution and electronic structural distortion caused by the defects on the carbon materials. Here, the present review mainly summarizes the latest research progress of the construction of the diverse types of defects (intrinsic carbon defects, heteroatom doping defects, metal atomic sites, and edges detects) for carbon materials in ECR, and unveil the structure–activity relationship and its catalytic mechanism. The current challenges and opportunities faced by high-performance carbon materials in ECR are discussed, as well as possible future solutions. It can be believed that this review can provide some inspiration for the future of development of high-performance ECR catalysts.
