Active Sites on Heterogeneous Single-Iron-Atom Electrocatalysts in CO2 Reduction Reaction
Abstract
Nitrogen-coordinated single-metal-atom catalysts (Me–N–C) are promising candidates for CO 2 -to-CO electrocatalytic conversion. The nature of real active sites in this type of electrocatalyst, however, is not clear. In this Letter, we study the specific interactions between the reaction intermediates and a model single-iron-atom catalyst (Fe–N–C) by combining in situ infrared absorption spectroscopy and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. For the first time, we confirm that the Fe centers in Fe–N 4 moieties hosted by the complete graphitic layer are poisoned by strongly adsorbed CO and should not be the real active sites for gaseous CO production. Further DFT calculation results suggest that the high CO selectivity and reaction rate may originate from Fe–N 4 moieties embedded in a defective graphitic layer that have balanced binding energies of adsorbed COOH and CO species. These findings add significant new insights into the mechanisms of CO 2 reduction on carbon-based single-atom electrocatalysts.

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.
