CO2 Electroreduction Performance of Transition Metal Dimers Supported on Graphene: A Theoretical Study
Abstract
Graphene-based materials are being hotly pursued for energy and environment applications. Inspired by the recent experimental synthesis of Fe 2 dimer supported on graphene (He, Z.; He, K.; Robertson, A. W.; Kirkland, A. I.; Kim, D.; Ihm, J.; Yoon, E.; Lee, G.-D.; Warner, J. H. Nano Lett. 2014, 14, 3766–3772), here using large-scale screening-based density functional theory and microkinetics modeling, we have identified that some transition metal dimers (Cu 2, CuMn, and CuNi), when supported on graphene with adjacent single vacancies (labeled as XY@2SV), perform better in CO 2 electroreduction with reduced overpotental and enhanced current density. Specifically, Cu 2 @2SV is catalytically active toward CO production, similar to Au electrodes but distinct from bulk Cu; MnCu@2SV is selective toward CH 4 generation, while NiCu@2SV promotes CH 3 OH production because of the difference in oxophilicity between incorporated Mn and Ni. The advantages of the outstanding selectivity of products, the high dispersity of spatial distribution, and the reduced overpotentials allow these new systems to be promising catalysts, which will motivate more experimental research in this direction to further explore graphene-based materials for CO 2 conversion.

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.
