Atomic Dispersed Indium and Cerium Sites for Selective CO2 Reduction to Formate

Currently, the single-atom combination catalysts (SACCs) for the electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2RR) to formic acid (HCOOH) are still very limited, especially those based on lanthanide elements. In this study, we successfully synthesized a novel type of SACCs with atomically dispersed In and Ce active sites on a nitrogen-doped carbon matrix (InCe/CN). The aberration-corrected … Read more

Precision Synthesis of Dual Atom Electrocatalysts

Single-atom sites have been widely used in various fields of electrocatalysis due to their high atomic utilization, mass activity, and selectivity. However, due to the inherent characteristics of single metal centers, single-atom sites have limitations in catalyzing multi-electron reactions. Dual Atom Sites (DASs) have garnered significant attention as promising candidates because neighboring active sites can … Read more

The Origin of Catalytic Selectivity in CO2 Electrochemical Conversion to Methanol

Electrocatalytic conversion of carbon dioxide (CO2) into useful fuels and chemical feedstocks is an emerging approach to alleviate global warming and reduce reliance on fossil fuels. Methanol (CH3OH), as one of the most important and widely used liquid fuels generated through CO2 reduction, is crucial in the chemical industry. In this review, we reveal the … Read more

Efficient Low-Coordination Copper-Based Catalysts for Selective CO2 Reduction to Ethylene

According to previous literature, the C-C coupling step in the CO2RR reaction is widely considered to be the core for producing C2 products, especially ethylene. Therefore, adjusting the spatial configuration of Cu to modulate the adsorption of *CO, thereby facilitating CO-CO coupling, is regarded as an effective method to promote ethylene production.The strong adsorption of … Read more
