Abstract
Electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2) to formate is a viable way to reduce CO2 emissions and realize a carbon-neutral energy cycle. Although Pd can convert CO2 to formate with a high Faradaic efficiency at minimal overpotentials, it suffers from a limited and narrow potential window. Alloying is an important strategy for the catalyst design and tuning the electronic structures. Here, we report a series of PdCu bimetallic alloy catalysts with tunable compositions based on dendritic architectures. Optimal introduction of Cu atoms into the Pd matrix facilitates formate production and suppresses CO generation. In 0.1 M KHCO3 aqueous solution, our best candidate, Pd82Cu18 catalyst, delivered a high formate Faradaic efficiency of 96.0% at -0.3 V versus RHE. More interestingly, the high selectivity (>90%) toward formate maintained an enlarged electrochemical potential window of 600 mV. The ensemble effect with electronic coupling between Pd and Cu upon alloying and its induced moderate surface O-containing configuration were found to enhance the formate formation and suppress CO poisoning during CO2 reduction.

Abstract
Although various single-atom catalysts have been designed, atomically engineering their coordination environment remains a great challenge. Herein, a one-pot template-sacrificing pyrolysis approach is developed to synthesize well-defined Ni-N4-O catalytic sites on highly porous graphitic carbon for electrocatalytic CO2 reduction to CO with high Faradaic efficiency (maximum of 97.2%) in a wide potential window (-0.56 to -1.06 V vs RHE) and with high stability. In-depth experimental and theoretical studies reveal that the axial Ni-O coordination introduces asymmetry to the catalytic center, leading to lower Gibbs free energy for the rate-limiting step, strengthened binding with *COOH, and a weaker association with *CO. The present results demonstrate the successful atomic-level coordination environment engineering of high-surface-area porous graphitic carbon-supported Ni single-atom catalysts (SACs), and the demonstrated method can be applied to synthesize an array of SACs (metal-N4-O) for various catalysis applications.

Abstract
Electrocatalytic CO2 reduction (ECR) is an attractive approach to convert atmospheric CO2 to value-added chemicals and fuels. However, this process is still hindered by sluggish CO2 reaction kinetics and the lack of efficient electrocatalysts. Therefore, new strategies for electrocatalyst design should be developed to solve these problems. Two-dimensional (2D) materials possess great potential in ECR because of their unique electronic and structural properties, excellent electrical conductivity, high atomic utilization and high specific surface area. In this review, we summarize the recent progress on 2D electrocatalysts applied in ECR. We first give a brief description of ECR fundamentals and then discuss in detail the development of different types of 2D electrocatalysts for ECR, including metal, graphene-based materials, transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), metal oxide nanosheets and 2D materials incorporated with single atoms as single-atom catalysts (SACs). Metals, such as Ag, Cu, Au, Pt and Pd, graphene-based materials, metal-doped nitric carbide, TMDs and MOFs can mostly only produce CO with a Faradic efficiencies (FE) of 80~90%. Particularly, SACs can exhibit FEs of CO higher than 90%. Metal oxides and graphene-based materials can produce HCOOH, but the FEs are generally lower than that of CO. Only Cu-based materials can produce high carbon products such as C2H4 but they have low product selectivity. It was proposed that the design and synthesis of novel 2D materials for ECR should be based on thorough understanding of the reaction mechanism through combined theoretical prediction with experimental study, especially in situ characterization techniques. The gap between laboratory synthesis and large-scale production of 2D materials also needs to be closed for commercial applications.

Abstract
In this work, a hollow double-shelled architecture, based on n-type ZnIn2S4 nanosheet-coated p-type CuS hollow octahedra (CuS@ZnIn2S4 HDSOs), is designed and fabricated as a p-n heterojunction photocatalyst for selective CO2 photoreduction into CH4. The resulting hybrids provide rich active sites and effective charge migration/separation to drive CO2 photoreduction, and meanwhile, CO detachment is delayed to increase the possibility of eight-electron reactions for CH4 production. As expected, the optimized CuS@ZnIn2S4 HDSOs manifest a CH4 yield of 28.0 μmol g-1 h-1 and a boosted CH4 selectivity up to 94.5%. The decorated C60 both possesses high electron affinity and improves catalyst stability and CO2 adsorption ability. Thus, the C60-decorated CuS@ZnIn2S4 HDSOs exhibit the highest CH4 evolution rate of 43.6 μmol g-1 h-1 and 96.5% selectivity. This work provides a rational strategy for designing and fabricating efficient heteroarchitectures for CO2 photoreduction.

Abstract
Inspired by the success of graphene, a series of single- or few-layer 2D materials have been developed and applied in the past decade. Here, the successful preparation of monolayer and bilayer 2D porphyrin-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) by a facile solvothermal method is reported. The structure transition from monolayer to bilayer drives distinct electronic properties and restructuring behaviors, which finally results in distinct catalytic pathways towards CO2 electrocatalysis. The monolayer favors CO2 -to-C2 pathway due to the restructuring of CuO4 sites, while CO and HCOO- are the major products over the bilayer. In photocoupled electrocatalysis, the Faradaic efficiency (FE) of the C2 compounds shows a nearly fourfold increase on the monolayer than that under dark conditions (FEC2 increases from 11.9% to 41.1% at -1.4 V). For comparison, the light field plays a negligible effect on the bilayer. The light-induced selectivity optimization is investigated by experimental characterization and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. This work opens up a novel possibility to tune the selectivity of carbon products just by tailoring the layer number of the 2D material.

Abstract
The electrochemical carbon dioxide reduction reaction (CO2RR) using copper (Cu)-based catalysts has received significant attention mainly because Cu is an element capable of producing hydrocarbons and oxygenates. One possible way to control the CO2RR performance at the electrode interface is by modifying catalysts with specific functional groups of different polymeric binders, which are necessary components in the process of electrode fabrication. However, the modification effect of the key functional groups on the CO2RR activity and selectivity is poorly understood over Cu-based catalysts. In this work, the role of functional groups (e.g., -COOH and -CF2 groups) in hydrophilic and hydrophobic polymeric binders on the CO2RR of Cu-based catalysts is investigated using a combination of electrochemical measurements, in situ characterization, and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. DFT results reveal that functional groups influence the binding energies of key intermediates involved in both CO2RR and the competing hydrogen evolution reaction, consistent with experimental observation of binder-dependent product distributions among formic acid, CO, CH4, and H2. This study provides a fundamental understanding that the selection of desired polymeric binders is a useful strategy for tuning the CO2RR activity and selectivity.

Abstract
Metal electrode is considered as an ideal candidate for electrocatalytic carbon dioxide (CO2) reduction considering its excellent chemical stability, application potential and eco-friendly properties. Optimization process such as morphological control, non-metallic doping, alloying is widely studied to improve the efficiency of metal electrodes. In this work, we successfully improved the CO2 reduction performance of silver using a facile plasma vulcanization treatment. The obtained sulfide derived silver (Ag) porous microrods (SD-AgPMRs) are optimized from both morphology and composition aspects, and demonstrates high Faradaic efficiency and partial current density for carbon monoxide (CO) production at low potentials. The larger specific surface area of porous microrod structure and the improved adsorption energy of important intermediates in comparison with Ag foil are realized by introduction of sulfur (S) atoms after plasma vulcanization activation, as suggested by density functional theory (DFT) calculations. This work presents a novel strategy to optimize metal electrocatalysts for CO2 reduction as well as to improve catalysis in other fields.

Abstract
Single-atom catalysts are promising candidates for many industrial reactions. However, making true single-atom catalysts is an experimental dilemma, due to the difficulty of keeping dopant single atoms stable at temperature and under pressure. This difficulty can lead to clustering of the metal dopant atoms in defect sites. However, the electronic and geometric structure of sub-nanoscale clusters in single-atom defects has not yet been explored. Furthermore, recent studies have proven sub-nanoscale clusters of dopants in single-atom defect sites can be equally good or better catalysts than their single-atom counterparts. Here, a comprehensive DFT study is undertaken to determine the geometric and electronic structure effects that influence clustering of noble and p-block dopants in C3- and N4-defect sites in graphene-based systems. We find that the defect site is the primary driver in determining clustering dynamics in these systems.

Abstract
Although great progress has been made in the field of electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (eCO2RR), inducing product selectivity is still difficult. We herein report that a thiocyanate ion (SCN-) switched the product selectivity of copper catalysts for eCO2RR in an H-cell. A cuprous thiocyanate-derived Cu catalyst was found to exhibit excellent HCOOH selectivity (faradaic efficiency = 70-88%) over a wide potential range (-0.66 to -0.95 V vs RHE). Furthermore, it was revealed that the formation of CO and C2H4 over commercial copper electrodes could be dramatically suppressed with the presence of SCN-, switching to HCOOH. Density functional theory calculations disclosed that SCN- made the formation of HCOO* easier than COOH* on Cu (211), facilitating the HCOOH generation. Our results provide a new insight into eCO2RR and will be helpful in the development of cheap electrocatalysts for specific utilization.

Abstract
Designing high-performance materials for CO2 capture and conversion is of great significance to reduce the greenhouse effect and alleviate the energy crisis. The strategy of doping is widely used to improve activity and selectivity of the materials. However, it is unclear how the doping densities influence the materials' properties. Herein, we investigated the mechanism of CO2 capture, separation and conversion on MoS2 , MoSe2 and Janus MoSSe monolayers with different boron doping levels using density functional theory (DFT) simulations. The results indicate that CO2 , H2 and CH4 bind weakly to the monolayers without and with single-atom boron doping, rendering these materials unsuitable for CO2 capture from gas mixtures. In contrast, CO2 binds strongly to monolayers doped with diatomic boron, whereas H2 and CH4 can only form weak interactions with these surfaces. Thus, the monolayers doped with diatomic boron can efficiently capture and separate CO2 from such gas mixtures. The electronic structure analysis demonstrates that monolayers doped with diatomic doped are more prone to donating electrons to CO2 than those with single-atom boron doped, leading to activation of CO2 . The results further indicate that CO2 can be converted to CH4 on diatomic boron doped catalysts, and MoSSe is the most efficient of the surfaces studied for CO2 capture, separation and conversion. In summary, the study provides evidence for the doping density is vital to design materials with particular functions.

Abstract
Electrocatalytic CO2 reduction to formate is considered as a perfect route for efficient conversion of the greenhouse gas CO2 to value-added chemicals. However, it still remains a huge challenge to design a catalyst with both high catalytic activity and selectivity for target products. Here we report a unique Sn-doped Bi2O3 nanosheet (NS) electrocatalyst with different atomic percentages of Sn (1.2, 2.5, and 3.8%) prepared by a simple solvothermal method for highly efficient electrochemical reduction of CO2 to formate. Of them, the 2.5% Sn-doped Bi2O3 NSs exhibited the highest faradaic efficiency (FE) of 93.4% with a current density of 24.3 mA cm-2 for formate at -0.97 V in the H-cell and a maximum current density of nearly 50 mA cm-2 was achieved at -1.27 V. The formate FE is stable maintained at over 90% in a wide potential range from -0.87 V to -1.17 V. Electrochemical and density functional theory (DFT) analyses of undoped and Sn doped Bi2O3 NSs indicated that the strong synergistic effect between Sn and Bi is responsible for the enhancement in the adsorption capacity of the OCHO* intermediate, and thus the activity for formate production. In addition, we coupled 2.5% Sn-doped Bi2O3 NSs with a dimensionally stable anode (DSA) to realize battery-driven highly active CO2RR and OER with decent activity and efficiency.

Abstract
Perfluorinated covalent triazine frameworks (F-CTFs) have shown unique features and attractive performance in separation and catalysis. However, state-of-the-art F-CTFs synthesized via the ZnCl2 -promoted procedure have quite low fluorine contents due to C-F bond cleavage induced by chloride (a Lewis base) and the harsh conditions deployed (400-700 °C). Fabricating F-CTFs with high fluorine contents (>30 wt %) remains challenging. Herein, we present a low-temperature ionothermal approach (275 °C) to prepare F-CTFs, which is achieved via polymerization of tetrafluoroterephthalonitrile (TFPN) over the Lewis superacids, e.g., zinc triflimide [Zn(NTf2 )2 ] without side reactions. With low catalyst loading (equimolar), F-CTFs are afforded with high fluorine content (31 wt %), surface area up to 367 m2 g-1 , and micropores around 1.1 nm. The highly hydrophobic F-CTF-1 exhibits good capability to boost electroreduction of CO2 to CO, with faradaic efficiency of 95.7 % at -0.8 V and high current density (-141 mA cm-2 ) surpassing most of the metal-free electrocatalysts.

Abstract
Carbon dioxide (CO2 ) emission has caused greenhouse gas pollution worldwide. Hence, strengthening CO2 recycling is necessary. CO2 electroreduction reaction (CRR) is recognized as a promising approach to utilize waste CO2 . Electrocatalysts in the CRR process play a critical role in determining the selectivity and activity of CRR. Different types of electrocatalysts are introduced in this review: noble metals and their derived compounds, transition metals and their derived compounds, organic polymer, and carbon-based materials, as well as their major products, Faradaic efficiency, current density, and onset potential. Furthermore, this paper overviews the recent progress of the following two major applications of CRR according to the different energy conversion methods: electricity generation and formation of valuable carbonaceous products. Considering electricity generation devices, the electrochemical properties of metal-CO2 batteries, including Li-CO2 , Na-CO2 , Al-CO2 , and Zn-CO2 batteries, are mainly summarized. Finally, different pathways of CO2 electroreduction to carbon-based fuels is presented, and their reaction mechanisms are illustrated. This review provides a clear and innovative insight into the entire reaction process of CRR, guiding the new electrocatalysts design, state-of-the-art analysis technique application, and reaction system innovation.

Abstract
Electrocatalytic CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) can store and transform the intermittent renewable energy in the form of chemical energy for industrial production of chemicals and fuels, which can dramatically reduce CO2 emission and contribute to carbon-neutral cycle. Efficient electrocatalytic reduction of chemically inert CO2 is challenging from thermodynamic and kinetic points of view. Therefore, low-cost, highly efficient, and readily available electrocatalysts have been the focus for promoting the conversion of CO2. Very recently, interface engineering has been considered as a highly effective strategy to modulate the electrocatalytic performance through electronic and/or structural modulation, regulations of electron/proton/mass/intermediates, and the control of local reactant concentration, thereby achieving desirable reaction pathway, inhibiting competing hydrogen generation, breaking binding-energy scaling relations of intermediates, and promoting CO2 mass transfer. In this review, we aim to provide a comprehensive overview of current developments in interface engineering for CO2RR from both a theoretical and experimental standpoint, involving interfaces between metal and metal, metal and metal oxide, metal and nonmetal, metal oxide and metal oxide, organic molecules and inorganic materials, electrode and electrolyte, molecular catalysts and electrode, etc. Finally, the opportunities and challenges of interface engineering for CO2RR are proposed.

Abstract
Single-atom catalysts (SACs), as a novel emerging category in heterogeneous catalysis, have exhibited superb activity and selectivity within the scope of many catalytic reactions, originating from their nature of atomic dispersion. However, they are not appropriate for more complicated reactions that benefit from multi-metal promotion, such as the carbon dioxide reduction reaction (CO2 RR). Atomic pair catalysts can provide a synergistic effect to break the intrinsic activity limit. Herein, inspired by theoretical prediction, a hetero-paired atomic-site catalyst (Ni/Fe-N/O-C) was developed for CO2 RR. Typically, the trace-amount-loaded double-atom-site catalysts exhibited outstanding turnover frequencies (≈460 s-1 ) surpassing reported ones by far. Interestingly, the loaded metal contents of the three M-N/O-C samples were extremely low, and Ni/Fe-N/O-C exhibited greatly improved durability compared with pure Ni-N/O-C or Fe-N/O-C and excellent CO selectivity above 80 % within a broad potential window of -1.4 to -1.7 V (vs. saturated calomel electrode, 99.8 % at -1.5 V). The superb performance of diatomic-site catalysts was attributed to the adjusted local environment and electron structure of the active center, which could decrease the reaction barrier of *COOH formation. This work presents new insights into manipulating electrocatalytic performance for the development of more sophisticated active sites.

Abstract
The most active catalysts so far successful in hydrogenation reduction of CO2 are mainly heterogeneous Cu-based catalysts. The complex coordination environments and multiple active sites in heterogeneous catalysts result in low selectivity of target product, while molecular catalysts with well-defined active sites and tailorable structures allow mechanism-based performance optimization. Herein, we firstly report a single ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) molecular-level immobilized on the surface of carbon nanotube as a catalyst for transferring CO2 to CH4 with an excellent performance. This catalyst exhibits a high Faradaic efficiency of 61.6 % toward CH4 , a partial current density of -16.5 mA cm-2 at a potential of -1.3 V versus reversible hydrogen electrode. Density functional theory calculations reveal that the Lewis basic COO- groups in EDTA molecule are the active sites for CO2 reduction reaction (CO2 RR). The energy barrier for the generation of CO from *CO intermediate is as high as 0.52 eV, while the further protonation of *CO to *CHO follows an energetic downhill path (-1.57 eV), resulting in the high selectivity of CH4 . This work makes it possible to control the product selectivity for CO2 RR according to the relationship between the energy barrier of *CO intermediate and molecular structures in the future.

Abstract
Efficient electrocatalytic reduction of CO2 to value-added chemicals and fuels is a promising technology for mitigating energy shortage and pollution issues yet highly relay on the development of high-performance electrocatalysts. Herein, we develop an effective strategy to fabricate carbonized wood membrane (CW) decorated with AuPd alloy nanoparticles with tunable composition (termed as AuPd@CW) as self-supported electrodes for efficient electrocatalytic CO2 reduction. The uniformly distributed AuPd nanoparticles on wood matrix are first achieved through the in-situ reduction of metal cations by the lignin content in wood. Subsequently, two-step carbonization was employed to promote the alloying of AuPd nanoparticles and the formation of CW. The AuPd@CW membrane electrode features an integrated macroscopic structure with numerous open and aligned channels for rapid electron transfer and mass diffusion and well-dispersed AuPd alloy nanoparticles as active sites for the CO2 reduction. The optimal Au95Pd5@CW electrode affords a high selectivity for CO2 electroreduction with a maximum CO faradaic efficiency (FECO) of 82% at an overpotential of 0.49 V, much higher than those obtained on Au@CW and Pd@CW electrodes. The CO current density and FECO remain relatively stable during a 12 h electrolysis reaction. In addition, density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal that alloying Au with Pd enables a balance between the formation of intermediate COOH* and the desorption of CO on the surface of AuPd nanoparticles, thus enhancing the selectivity of CO production. This work offers an effective strategy for the fabrication of bimetallic alloys supported on wood-based carbon membrane as a practical electrode for electrochemical energy conversion.

Abstract
The multi-electron reduction of CO2 to hydrocarbons or alcohols is highly attractive in a sustainable energy economy, and the rational design of electrocatalysts is vital to achieve these reactions efficiently. Single-atom electrocatalysts are promising candidates due to their well-defined coordination configurations and unique electronic structures, which are critical for delivering high activity and selectivity and may accelerate the explorations of the activity origin at atomic level as well. Although much effort has been devoted to multi-electron reduction of CO2 on single-atom electrocatalysts, there are still no reviews focusing on this emerging field and constructive perspectives are also urgent to be addressed. Herein recent advances in how to design efficient single-atom electrocatalysts for multi-electron reduction of CO2 , with emphasis on strategies in regulating the interactions between active sites and key reaction intermediates, are summarized. Such interactions are crucial in designing active sites for optimizing the multi-electron reduction steps and maximizing the catalytic performance. Different design strategies including regulation of metal centers, single-atom alloys, non-metal single-atom catalysts, and tandem catalysts, are discussed accordingly. Finally, current challenges and future opportunities for deep electroreduction of CO2 are proposed.

Abstract
Electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide is a viable alternative for reducing fossil fuel consumption and reducing atmospheric CO2 levels. Although, a wide variety of materials have been studied for electrochemical reduction of CO2, the selective and efficient reduction of CO2 is still not accomplished. Complex reaction mechanisms and the competing hydrogen evolution reaction further complicates the efficiency of materials. An extensive understanding of reaction mechanism is hence essential in designing an ideal electrocatalyst material. Therefore, in this review article we discuss the materials explored in the last decade with focus on their catalytic mechanism and methods to enhance their catalytic activity.

Abstract
We report an amino-functionalized indium-organic framework for efficient CO2 reduction to formate. The immobilized amino groups strengthen the absorption and activation of CO2 and stabilize the active intermediates, which endow an enhanced catalytic conversion to formate despite the inevitable reduction and reconstruction of the functionalized indium-based catalyst during electrocatalysis. The reconstructed amino-functionalized indium-based catalyst demonstrates a high Faradaic efficiency of 94.4 % and a partial current density of 108 mA cm-2 at -1.1 V vs. RHE in a liquid-phase flow cell, and also delivers an enhanced current density of ca. 800 mA cm-2 at 3.4 V for the formate production in a gas-phase flow cell configuration. This work not only provides a molecular functionalization and assembling concept of hybrid electrocatalysts but also offers valuable understandings in electrocatalyst evolution and reactor optimization for CO2 electrocatalysis and beyond.

Abstract
Global energy and environmental crises are among the most pressing challenges facing humankind. To overcome these challenges, recent years have seen an upsurge of interest in the development and production of renewable chemical fuels as alternatives to the nonrenewable and high-polluting fossil fuels. Photocatalysis, photoelectrocatalysis, and electrocatalysis provide promising avenues for sustainable energy conversion. Single- and dual-component catalytic systems based on nanomaterials have been intensively studied for decades, but their intrinsic weaknesses hamper their practical applications. Multicomponent nanomaterial-based systems, consisting of three or more components with at least one component in the nanoscale, have recently emerged. The multiple components are integrated together to create synergistic effects and hence overcome the limitation for outperformance. Such higher-efficiency systems based on nanomaterials will potentially bring an additional benefit in balance-of-system costs if they exclude the use of noble metals, considering the expense and sustainability. It is therefore timely to review the research in this field, providing guidance in the development of noble-metal-free multicomponent nanointegration for sustainable energy conversion. In this work, we first recall the fundamentals of catalysis by nanomaterials, multicomponent nanointegration, and reactor configuration for water splitting, CO2 reduction, and N2 reduction. We then systematically review and discuss recent advances in multicomponent-based photocatalytic, photoelectrochemical, and electrochemical systems based on nanomaterials. On the basis of these systems, we further laterally evaluate different multicomponent integration strategies and highlight their impacts on catalytic activity, performance stability, and product selectivity. Finally, we provide conclusions and future prospects for multicomponent nanointegration. This work offers comprehensive insights into the development of cost-competitive multicomponent nanomaterial-based systems for sustainable energy-conversion technologies and assists researchers working toward addressing the global challenges in energy and the environment.

Abstract
The electrochemical reduction of CO2into value-added fuels and chemicals using single atom (SACs) or dual-atom catalysts (DACs) has been extensively studied, but the reaction mechanism and design rules are still unclear. Here, we studied the role of dual-metal atoms on graphite carbon nitride (M1M2@g-CN, M1M2 = CuCu, FeFe, RuRu, RuCu, RuFe, CuFe) for selective and efficient CO2electrochemical reduction based on density functional theory. Our results show that CO2RR on RuRu@g-CN catalyst prefers the *COOH pathway, while for CuCu@g-CN, FeFe@g-CN, RuCu@g-CN, RuFe@g-CN, CuFe@g-CN catalysts, the *OCHO pathway is more suitable. Among all the DACs combinations, we found that RuCu@g-CN and RuFe@g-CN are the most promising electrocatalysts for CO2RR with a lower limiting potential, which is attributed to the synergistic effect of different O- and C-affinity of the heterocenters in DACs. The selectivity of RuCu@g-CN and RuFe@g-CN to the production of CH4is better than that of H2evolution. In addition, we also found that the adsorption free energy of intermediate on heteroatomic DACs can be predicted by those on homoatomic DACs, which can be used to further predict the limiting potential.

Highlights and challenges in the selective reduction of carbon dioxide to methanol. Nat Rev Chem 2021; 5:564-579. [PMID: 37117584 DOI: 10.1038/s41570-021-00289-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 133] [Impact Index Per Article: 44.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 05/10/2021] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the iconic greenhouse gas and the major factor driving present global climate change, incentivizing its capture and recycling into valuable products and fuels. The 6H+/6e- reduction of CO2 affords CH3OH, a key compound that is a fuel and a platform molecule. In this Review, we compare different routes for CO2 reduction to CH3OH, namely, heterogeneous and homogeneous catalytic hydrogenation, as well as enzymatic catalysis, photocatalysis and electrocatalysis. We describe the leading catalysts and the conditions under which they operate, and then consider their advantages and drawbacks in terms of selectivity, productivity, stability, operating conditions, cost and technical readiness. At present, heterogeneous hydrogenation catalysis and electrocatalysis have the greatest promise for large-scale CO2 reduction to CH3OH. The availability and price of sustainable electricity appear to be essential prerequisites for efficient CH3OH synthesis.

Abstract
Electrochemical devices, as renewable and clean energy systems, display a great potential to meet the sustainable development in the future. However, well-designed and highly efficient electrocatalysts are the technological dilemmas that retard their practical applications. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) derived electrocatalysts exhibit tunable structure and intriguing activity and have received intensive investigation in recent years. In this review, the recent progress of MOFs-derived carbon-based single atoms (SAs) and metal nanoparticles (NPs) catalysts for energy-related electrocatalysis is summarized. The effects of synthesis strategy, coordination environment, morphology, and composition on the catalytic activity are highlighted. Furthermore, these SAs and metal NPs catalysts for the applications of electrocatalysis (hydrogen evolution reaction, oxygen evolution reaction, oxygen reduction reaction, carbon dioxide reduction reaction, and nitrogen reduction reaction) are overviewed. Finally, some current challenges and foresighted ideas for MOFs-derived carbon-based metal electrocatalysts are presented.

Abstract
The reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2 ) into value-added fuels using an electrochemical method has been regarded as a compelling sustainable energy conversion technology. However, high-performance electrocatalysts for CO2 reduction reaction (CO2 RR) with high formate selectivity and good stability need to be improved. Earth-abundant Bi has been demonstrated to be active for CO2 RR to formate. Herein, we fabricated an extremely active and selective bismuth nanosheet (Bi-NSs) assembly via an in situ electrochemical transformation of (BiO)2 CO3 nanostructures. The as-prepared material exhibits high activity and selectivity for CO2 RR to formate, with nearly 94% faradaic efficiency at -1.03 V (versus reversible hydrogen electrode (vs. RHE)) and stable selectivity (>90%) in a large potential window ranging from -0.83 to -1.18 V (vs. RHE) and excellent durability during 12 h continuous electrolysis. In addition, the Bi-NSs based CO2 RR/methanol oxidation reaction (CO2 RR/MOR) electrolytic system for overall CO2 splitting was constructed, evidencing the feasibility of its practical implementation.
