Electrochemical Reduction of CO2 on Metal-Nitrogen-Doped Carbon Catalysts

Varela, Ana Sofia, Ju, Wen, Bagger, Alexander, Franco, Patricio, Rossmeisl, Jan, Strasser, Peter·2019·ACS Catalysis

Abstract

The electrochemical CO 2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) is a promising technology for converting waste CO 2 into chemicals which could be used as feedstock for the chemical industry or as synthetic fuels. The technological viability of this process, however, is contingent on finding affordable and efficient catalysts. Recently, carbon-based solid state catalyst materials containing small amounts of nitrogen and transition metals (MNC) have emerged as a selective and cost-efficient alternative to noble metal catalysts for the direct electrochemical reduction of CO 2 into CO. In addition, other products have also been reported, including formic acid and methane. In this Perspective, we offer a focused discussion of recent advances in the field of MNC catalysts for the CO2RR. The different factors which control the catalytic performance of MNC toward the CO2RR are discussed in this Perspective. We focus on density functional theory-guided experimental studies aiming to elucidate key experimental parameters and molecular descriptors that control the activity and selectivity of this class of materials. We close addressing the remaining challenges and take a look forward into future studies.

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.
