“…Although carbon dioxide reduction is highly studied under various conditions, many of them considered herein, the electrochemical CO 2 RR presents many advantages, which were previously discussed for conventional catalytic processes; however, the simplicity of the reaction is one additional gain of the process. Thus, the anodic reaction is the oxygen evolution reaction (OER), [150] while the cathodic counterpart takes the general form: [151]

true xCO_{2} + nH^{+} + ne^{-} \to product + yH_{2} normalO

Although rhenium may not be the most common choice of active species in catalysis, it has been reported as a highly active and selective catalyst over a wide range of reactions. Its applications include hydrogenation reactions of great relevance in the field of renewable materials and bio‐derived platform molecules, such as valorization of lignin, CO2, and carboxylic acids. Different from several transition metals, rhenium presents oxidation numbers varying from −3 to +7. Such diversity in the coordination chemistry of rhenium is reflected in the variety of known rhenium compounds, since this metal can form stable structures such as ligand‐bridged multinuclear and organometallic compounds as well as inorganic oxides, metal‐organic frameworks, and clusters. The exceptional flexibility in rhenium speciation yields numerous selective catalysts; however, it also makes the characterization of rhenium catalysts challenging, and its influence on the catalytic activity is not trivial. This review will outline the most established rhenium‐based materials used in hydrogenation catalysis and shed some light on the relation of rhenium species to catalyst selectivity based on advanced characterization techniques. Finally, our perspectives on the use of rhenium catalysts to produce value‐added products will be given.

“…Owing to the weak interaction between h-BN and Cu, the free-energy change of HCOO* is relatively positive (0.57 eV, Figure 9k), which leads to a high CO formation potential. [185,217] Recently, the ability of C-doped and linear defect-embedded BN nanoribbons (BNNRs) to electrocatalyze the CO 2 reduction has been predicted. [76] It has been shown that C-doped Z-type and armchair BNNRs promote the selective conversion of CO 2 to CH 4 because of their strong binding to CO intermediates.…”

“…Hydrogenating CO 2 into fuel molecules reduces both the greenhouse gas emissions and dependence on nonrenewable energy sources. The electrocatalytic reduction of CO 2 is of great significance, [177,217] but its experimental exploration using BN-based nanomaterials is relatively late and has only been reported recently. It was found that h-BN with defects prepared by ball milling could effectively activate CO 2 molecules for hydrogenation.…”

As a conventional insulating material, boron nitride (BN) has been mainly investigated in the electronics field. Very recently, with the development of preparation/modification technology and deeper understanding of the electrochemical mechanisms, BN‐based nanomaterials have made significant progress in the field of electrochemistry. Exploiting the characteristics of BN for advanced electrochemical devices is expected to be a breakthrough that will stimulate a new energy revolution. Owing to its chemical and thermal stability, as well as its high mechanical strength, BN can alleviate various inherent problems in electrochemical systems, such as thermal deformation of conventional organic separators, weak solid electrolyte interface layers of metal anodes, and electrocatalyst poisoning. The integration of BN with various electrochemical energy technologies is systematically summarized from the perspectives of material preparation, theoretical calculations, and practical applications. Moreover, the challenges and prospects for the future development of BN‐based electrochemistry are highlighted.

Electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) provides a promising approach to curbing harmful emissions contributing to global warming. However, several challenges hinder the commercialization of this technology, including high overpotentials, electrode instability, and low Faradic efficiencies of desirable products. Several materials have been developed to overcome these challenges. This mini-review discusses the recent performance of various cobalt (Co) electrocatalysts, including Co-single atom, Co-multi metals, Co-complexes, Co-based metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), Co-based covalent organic frameworks (COFs), Co-nitrides, and Co-oxides. These materials are reviewed with respect to their stability of facilitating CO2 conversion to valuable products, and a summary of the current literature is highlighted, along with future perspectives for the development of efficient CO2RR.
