Molybdenum Sulfides and Selenides as Possible Electrocatalysts for CO 2 Reduction
Abstract
Linear scaling relations between reaction intermediates pose a fundamental limitation to the CO 2 reduction activity of transition‐metal catalysts. To design improved catalysts, we propose to break these scaling relations by binding key reaction intermediates to different sites. Using density functional theory, we demonstrate this principle in the active edge sites in MoS 2 , MoSe 2 , and Ni‐doped MoS 2 . These edges show the unique property of selectively binding COOH and CHO to bridging S or Se atoms and CO to the metal atom. DFT calculations suggest a significant improvement in CO 2 reduction activity over the transition metals. Our results point to the broader application of the active edge sites of transition‐metal dichalcogenides in complex electrochemical processes.

The predicted theoretical limiting potential for CH3OH production using Pt@dv-Gr is significantly less negative than any catalysts that produce CH4 or CH3OH in the literature, whether synthesized (-0.5 to -1.0 V) or predicted (-0.3 to -1.0 V).
“In particular, as in the free energy diagram shown in Fig. 4 in detail, the predicted theoretical limiting potential (U L) for CH3OH production using Pt@dv-Gr is significantly less negative than any catalysts that produce CH4 or CH3OH in the literature, synthesized (–0.5 to –1.0 V)35,37,38 or predicted (–0.3 V to –1.0 V).4,6,39,40”

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.
