Recent Advances in Breaking Scaling Relations for Effective Electrochemical Conversion of CO2

Li, Yawei, Sun, Qiang·2016·Advanced Energy Materials

Abstract

The increasing concentration of CO 2 in the atmosphere, and the resulting environmental problems, call for effective ways to convert CO 2 into valuable fuels and chemicals for a sustainable carbon cycle. In such a context, CO 2 electrocatalytic reduction has been hotly studied due to the merits of ambient operational conditions and easy control of the reaction process by changing the applied potential. Among the various systems studied, Cu and Au are found to possess the highest Faradaic efficiency toward cathodic electrocatalytic conversion of CO 2 to hydrocarbons and CO, respectively. However, both of them suffer from large overpotentials owing to the limitations imposed by the scaling relations between the carbonaceous adsorbates. Therefore, establishing how to break the scaling relations for effective electrochemical conversion of CO 2 has become an urgent research topic. The recent advances in breaking the adsorption energy scaling relations to reduce the overpotential, improve the catalytic activity and suppress the side reaction, are summarized. The origin of the scaling relations, their negative effects on CO 2 electrocatalysis, and the strategies for breaking the limitations are discussed. Some suggestions for future study are also proposed.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
