Rational design of copper-based single-atom alloy catalysts for electrochemical CO2 reduction

A 2D layered cobalt-based metal–organic framework for photoreduction of CO2to syngas with a controllable wide ratio range

“…Upon chemisorption, CO 2 attaches to Co via a side-on conguration with one of its C]O double bonds. 53,54 Bader charge analysis shows that barely no electrons are accumulated on the CO 2 molecule upon physisorption (−0.03e − for (CO 2 + 2H 2 O) and (CO 2 + 3H 2 O) systems and −0.04e − for (CO 2 + 4H 2 O)), while considerable electrons transfer from the catalyst to CO 2 in chemisorbed (CO 2 + 5H 2 O) and (CO 2 + 6H 2 O) systems (−0.47e − and −0.44e − , respectively).…”

2D Molybdenum Compounds for Electrocatalytic Energy Conversion

“…Similar to NRR, CRR in an aqueous solution also competes with HER, deteriorating the efficiency and selectivity. [ 114 ] Therefore, much effort has been devoted to developing efficient electrocatalysts for CRR. [ 115 ] Asadi et al.…”

“…Similar to NRR, CRR in an aqueous solution also competes with HER, deteriorating the efficiency and selectivity. [114] Therefore, much effort has been devoted to developing efficient electrocatalysts for CRR. [115] Asadi et al [116] first identified that MoS 2 exhibited superior CRR activity in an ionic liquid, which was attributed to the metallic Mo-terminated edges with high d-electron density.…”

Single-atom catalysts for electrochemical applications

“…Recently, single-atom catalysts (SACs) have been among the most researched heterogeneous catalysts. 23–49 Many theoretical and experimental efforts have been made to employ SACs dispersed on different carriers to achieve high selectivity and maximum metal usage in catalysis. 50 The concept of SACs was first proposed by Zhang et al in 2011.…”
