Carbon‐based metal‐free catalysts for electrochemical CO2 reduction: Activity, selectivity, and stability

“…Usually, incorporating carbon with metal catalysts can boost the catalytic activity, and increase the dispersion level and number of available active sites 105 . In the eCO 2 R process, product selectivity is usually influenced by the experimental parameters such as temperature, electrolyte cations, and morphologies of the cathode 106 .…”

“…98,99 For the better understanding of different catalysts selectivity towards the products, there are excellent recent reviews on working potentials and designing of materials by Qiao et al, 50 Gattrell et al, 100 Larrazabal et al, 101 Khezri et al, 102 Lu et al, 103 and Seh et al 104 Usually, incorporating carbon with metal catalysts can boost the catalytic activity, and increase the dispersion level and number of available active sites. 105 In the eCO 2 R process, product selectivity is usually influenced by the experimental parameters such as temperature, electrolyte cations, and morphologies of the cathode. 106 In contrast, the current density can be enhanced by improving the surface area of the cathode.…”

Metal-organic frameworks for electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide: The role of metal centers

“…A promising way of atmospheric CO 2 conversion is to catalyze the chemical reduction of CO 2 to useful chemicals, such as carbon monoxide, methane, formic acid, ethane, ethylene [16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23] . In the past decades, various CO 2 reduction approaches have been developed, including electrocatalytic reduction [24][25][26][27][28][29][30] , photocatalytic reduction [31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41] , chemical and biochemical reduction [42] .…”

Well-dispersed SnO2 nanocrystals on N-doped carbon nanowires as efficient electrocatalysts for carbon dioxide reduction

“…The increasing accumulation of carbon dioxides (CO 2 ) in atmosphere results in serious environmental issues, such as globe warming [1] . To address these issues, the electrochemical reduction of CO 2 into valuable chemicals and fuels is a highly promising route for the sustainable energy applications [2,3] . However, it is still challenging to reduce CO 2 due to sluggish reaction kinetics of the stable CO 2 molecule, the myriad possible reaction pathways for lots of different products, and the competitive reaction with hydrogen evolution reaction (HER).…”
