Abstract:One of the strategies to mitigate the concentration of CO 2 in the atmosphere and reduce the global warming effect is to capture CO 2 and convert it to synthetic fuels and fine chemicals. Although CO 2 is structurally and chemically stable, the electrochemical transformation has attracted much attention because it offers mild reaction conditions regarding temperature, pressure, and process controllability. Among various electrocatalysts, dualatom catalysts (DACs) have been extensively developed in the past few… Show more
“…In comparison to SACs, they have not only a similar ability to utilize almost 100% of the catalyst atoms but also much enhanced electronic property, improved activity, and selectivity. 57 Upon examining the 3153 literature we collected, it was verified that there are 7 papers focusing on dual-atom catalysts. We searched Web of Science for dual-atom catalysts to collect the most recent developments in the field.…”

“…However, some important aspects still need to be further investigated: (1) the coordination environment has great impact on the electronic structure of SACs, so unveiling the relationship between the coordination number or connecting heteroatom type of SACs and eCO 2 RR activity is important; (2) at present, most of the SACs syntheses are still at the laboratory stage; a universal approach for large-scale SACs production is required to meet the demands of practical applications; 119 (3) some studies suggest that single-atom site conguration only shows high reactivity in the primary reaction process and is inadequate for the subsequent catalytic reaction steps involving multiple electron transfer and intermediate conversion, accordingly, developing novel catalysts with dual atomic sites may overcome this limitation. 120,121 2.2.3 Metal nanoparticles modication. Metal nanoparticles (NPs) modied HSC material as active and reusable catalysts have attracted wide interest in the eld of catalytic CO 2 reduction, in which metal NPs act as the active sites.…”
This review covers the syntheses, functionalization strategies of hollow carbon-based materials, as well as their applications in electrocatalytic and thermocatalytic CO2 conversion.
“…This concept is further explored in recent comprehensive reviews, highlighting the advancements and potential of DASCs in various applications. 24–29 Nitrogenated carbon-based DASCs have demonstrated advantages in improving CO 2 ECR performance. 30 For example, the N-bridged Co–N–Ni bimetallic catalyst achieves a CO faradaic efficiency of 96.4%, significantly higher than Co–N 4 at 61.5% and Ni–N 4 at 45.0%, respectively.…”
A new Co–Ni–N–C electrocatalyst for CO2 reduction, featuring diatomic metal-nitrogen sites on N-doped carbon, has been developed. It shows high CO yield and faradaic efficiency, promising for various electrochemical reactions.
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.
