Abstract
Electrocatalytic carbon dioxide reduction (ECO2R) to formate is the most technically and economically feasible approach to achieve electrochemical CO2 value addition. Here, a few-layer graphene is prepared from vinegar residue. Then a series of heteroatom-doped vertical graphene electrodes (X-rGO, X=P/S/N/B/, NS/NP/NB, NSP/NSB/NPB/NSPB) are prepared. The NS-rGO has improved ECO2R to formate selectivity (Faraday Efficiency (FEHCOO-) = 78.7 %) thanks to the synergistic effect between N and S. Carbon quantum dots (CQDs) are introduced into the electrode, the doped heteroatoms are further removed by high-temperature to form the defects-rich electrode (NS-CQDs-rGO-1100), which has better catalytic performance (FEHCOO-=90 %, stability over 10 h) with electrochemical double layer capacitance of 12.5 mF cm-2. The intrinsic effect of heteroatom doping and defects on the ECO2R activity of the electrodes are explored by density functional theory calculation. This work broadens the field of preparation of graphene and opens the door to the development of cost-effective electrocatalysts for efficient ECO2R.

Abstract
Electrochemical CO2 reduction (eCO2R) to industrially important feedstock has received great attention, but it faces different challenges. Among them, the poor CO2 mass transport due to low intrinsic CO2 solubility significantly limits the rate of reduction reactions, leading to lower catalytic performance; thereby, commercially relevant current densities can't be achieved. Moreover, the poor activity and selectivity of high-cost monometallic catalysts, including Cu, Zn, Ag, and Au, undermine the efficiency of eCO2R. Flow-through gas diffusion electrodes (FTGDE), a newly developed class of GDEs, can potentially solve the issue of poor CO2 mass transport because they directly feed the CO2 to the catalyst layer. In addition, abundant surface area, porous structure, and improved triple-phase interface make them an excellent candidate for extremely high rate eCO2R. Antimony, a low-cost and abundant metalloid, can be effectively tuned with Cu to produce useful products such as CO, formate, and C2H4 through eCO2R. Herein, a series of porous binary CuSb FTGDEs with different Sb compositions are fabricated for the electrocatalytic reduction of CO2 to CO. The results show that the catalytic performance of CuSb FTGDEs improved with increasing Sb content up to a certain threshold, beyond which it started to decrease. The CuSb FTGDE with 5.4 g of antimony demonstrated higher current density (206.4 mA/cm2) and faradaic efficiency (72.82 %) at relatively lower overpotentials. Compared to gas diffusion configuration, the poor catalytic activity and selectivity achieved by CuSb FTGDE in non-gas diffusion configuration signifies the importance of improved local CO2 concentration and improved triple-phase interface formation in GDE configuration. The several hours stable operation of CuSb FTGDEs during eCO2R demonstrates its potential for efficient electrocatalytic conversion applications.

Tandem effect at snowflake-like cuprous sulphide interfaces for highly selective conversion of carbon dioxide to formate by electrochemical reduction. J Colloid Interface Sci 2024; 655:909-919.

Abstract
Electrochemical carbon dioxide reduction (ECR) is a commercially promising technology to resolve the energy dilemma and accomplish carbon recycling. Herein, a novel electrocatalyst has been investigated to produce formate (HCOOH) highly selectively during ECR by loading SnO2@C onto cuprous sulphide (Cu2S) to form a triplet effect at the interface. Snowflake-like Cu2S significantly enhances the local concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) and promotes the binding of CO2 with SnO2, and the addition of carbon spheres enhances the electron transport, which is beneficial to the conversion of CO2 to HCOOH products. The snowflake-like Cu2S loaded with 1 wt% SnO2@C had an HCOOH Faraday Efficiency of 88% at -1.0 V (vs. Reversible Hydrogen Electrode, RHE), and the current density for CO2 reduction was stabilized at 15.6 mA cm-2, which was much higher than the HCOOH Faraday efficiency (FE) of 31.0% for pure Cu2S accompanied by a CO2 reduction current density of 3.9 mA cm-2. Combined investigations using in-situ Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) with in-situ Raman spectra reveal that the active species is Cu+. Cu2S/1%SnO2@C can effectively promote the adsorption and activation of carbonate and inhibit the production of CO intermediates. The corresponding density functional theory (DFT) demonstrates that Cu2S/1%SnO2@C can well stabilize the HCOO* intermediate during the ECR process. The interaction between Cu2S and SnO2@C adjusts the surface electronic distribution and accelerates electron transfer, which efficiently improves CO2-to-HCOOH conversion. The result obtained from this work provides a simple and efficient electrocatalyst to enhance the HCOOH selectivity of ECR.

Abstract
A world-wide growing concern relates to the rising levels of CO2 in the atmosphere that leads to devastating consequences for our environment. In addition to reducing emissions, one alternative strategy is the conversion of CO2 (via the CO2 Reduction Reaction, or CO2RR) into added-value chemicals, such as CO, HCOOH, C2H5OH, CH4, and more. Although this strategy is currently not economically feasible due to the high stability of the CO2 molecule, significant progress has been made to optimize this electrochemical conversion, especially in terms of finding a performing catalyst. In fact, many noble and non-noble metal-based systems have been investigated but achieving CO2 conversion with high faradaic efficiency (FE), high selectivity towards specific products (e.g., hydrocarbons), and maintaining long-term stability is still challenging. The situation is also aggravated by a concomitant hydrogen production reaction (HER), together with the cost and/or scarcity of some catalysts. This review aims to present, among the most recent studies, some of the best-performing catalysts for CO2RR. By discussing the reasons behind their performances, and relating them to their composition and structural features, some key qualities for an "optimal catalyst" can be defined, which, in turn, will help render the conversion of CO2 a practical, as well as economically feasible process.

Abstract
Electrocatalytic carbon dioxide reduction (CO2RR) is a relatively feasible method to reduce the atmospheric concentration of CO2. Although a series of metal-based catalysts have gained interest for CO2RR, understanding the structure-activity relationship for Cu-based catalysts remains a great challenge. Herein, three Cu-based catalysts with different sizes and compositions (Cu@CNTs, Cu4@CNTs, and CuNi3@CNTs) were designed to explore this relationship by density functional theory (DFT). The calculation results show a higher degree of CO2 molecule activation on CuNi3@CNTs compared to that on Cu@CNTs and Cu4@CNTs. The methane (CH4) molecule is produced on both Cu@CNTs and CuNi3@CNTs, while carbon monoxide (CO) is synthesized on Cu4@CNTs. The Cu@CNTs showed higher activity for CH4 production with a low overpotential value of 0.36 V compared to CuNi3@CNTs (0.60 V), with *CHO formation considered the potential-determining step (PDS). The overpotential value was only 0.02 V for *CO formation on the Cu4@CNTs, and *COOH formation was the PDS. The limiting potential difference analysis with the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) indicated that the Cu@CNTs exhibited the highest selectivity of CH4 among the three catalysts. Therefore, the sizes and compositions of Cu-based catalysts greatly influence CO2RR activity and selectivity. This study provides an innovative insight into the theoretical explanation of the origin of the size and composition effects to inform the design of highly efficient electrocatalysts.

Abstract
This work reports the synthesis of CuxSny alloy aerogels for electrochemical CO2 reduction catalysts. An in situ reduction and the subsequent freeze-drying process can successfully give CnxSny aerogels with tuneable Sn contents, and such aerogels are composed of three-dimensional architectures made from inter-connected fine nanoparticles with pores as the channels. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations show that the introduction of Sn in Cu aerogels inhibits H2 evolution reaction (HER) activity, while the accelerated CO desorption on the catalyst surface is found at the same time. The porous structure of aerogel also favors exposing more active sites. Counting these together, with the optimized composition of Cu95Sn5 aerogel, the high selectivity of CO can be achieved with a faradaic efficiency of over 90% in a wide potential range (-0.7 V to -1.0 V vs. RHE).

Abstract
Excessive anthropogenic CO2 emission has caused a series of ecological and environmental issues, which threatens mankind's sustainable development. Mimicking the natural photosynthesis process (i.e., artificial photosynthesis) by electrochemically converting CO2 into value-added products is a promising way to alleviate CO2 emission and relieve the dependence on fossil fuels. Recently, Sn-based catalysts have attracted increasing research attentions due to the merits of low price, abundance, non-toxicity, and environmental benignancy. In this review, the paradigm of nanostructure engineering for efficient electrochemical CO2 reduction (ECO2 R) on Sn-based catalysts is systematically summarized. First, the nanostructure engineering of size, composition, atomic structure, morphology, defect, surficial modification, catalyst/substrate interface, and single-atom structure, are systematically discussed. The influence of nanostructure engineering on the electronic structure and adsorption property of intermediates, as well as the performance of Sn-based catalysts for ECO2 R are highlighted. Second, the potential chemical state changes and the role of surface hydroxides on Sn-based catalysts during ECO2 R are introduced. Third, the challenges and opportunities of Sn-based catalysts for ECO2 R are proposed. It is expected that this review inspires the further development of highly efficient Sn-based catalysts, meanwhile offer protocols for the investigation of Sn-based catalysts.

Abstract
The electroreduction of carbon dioxide (CO2 ) has been emerging as a high- potential approach for CO2 utilization using renewables. When copper (Cu) based catalysts are used, this platform can produce multi-carbon (C2+ ) fuels and chemicals with almost net-zero emission, contributing to the closure of the anthropogenic carbon cycle. Nonetheless, the rational design and development of Cu-based catalysts are critical toward the realization of highly selective and efficient CO2 electroreduction. In this review, first the latest advances in Cu-catalyzed CO2 electroreduction in the product selectivity and electrocatalytic activity are briefly summarized. Then, recent theoretical and mechanistic studies of CO2 electroreduction on Cu-based catalysts are investigated, which serve as programs to design catalysts. Strategies for devising Cu catalysts that aim at promoting different key elementary steps for hydrocarbon and C2+ oxygenates production are further summarized. Moreover, challenges in understanding the mechanism, operando investigation of Cu catalysts and reactions, and systems' influences are also presented. Finally, the future prospects of CO2 electroreduction are discussed.

Abstract
With ever-increasing energy consumption and continuous rise in atmospheric CO2 concentration, electrochemical reduction of CO2 into chemicals/fuels is becoming a promising yet challenging solution. Sn-based materials are identified as attractive electrocatalysts for the CO2 reduction reaction (CO2 RR) to formate but suffer from insufficient selectivity and activity, especially at large cathodic current densities. Herein, we demonstrate that Cu-doped SnS2 nanoflowers can undergo in situ dynamic restructuring to generate catalytically active S-doped Cu/Sn alloy for highly selective electrochemical CO2 RR to formate over a wide potential window. Theoretical thermodynamic analysis of reaction energetics indicates that the optimal electronic structure of the Sn active site can be regulated by both S-doping and Cu-alloying to favor formate formation, while the CO and H2 pathways will be suppressed. Our findings provide a rational strategy for electronic modulation of metal active site(s) for the design of active and selective electrocatalysts towards CO2 RR.

Abstract
Electrocatalysts play a key role in accelerating the sluggish electrochemical CO2 reduction (ECR) involving multi-electron and proton transfer. We now develop a proton capture strategy by accelerating the water dissociation reaction catalyzed by transition-metal nanoparticles (NPs) adjacent to atomically dispersed and nitrogen-coordinated single nickel (Ni-Nx ) active sites to accelerate proton transfer to the latter for boosting the intermediate protonation step, and thus the whole ECR process. Aberration-corrected scanning transmission electron microscopy, X-ray absorption spectroscopy, and calculations reveal that the Ni NPs accelerate the adsorbed H (Had ) generation and transfer to the adjacent Ni-Nx sites for boosting the intermediate protonation and the overall ECR processes. This proton capture strategy is universal to design and prepare for various high-performance catalysts for diverse electrochemical reactions even beyond ECR.

Abstract
Regulating the local environment and structure of metal center coordinated by nitrogen ligands (M-N4 ) to accelerate overall reaction dynamics of the electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (CO2 RR) has attracted extensive attention. Herein, we develop an axial traction strategy to optimize the electronic structure of the M-N4 moiety and construct atomically dispersed nickel sites coordinated with four nitrogen atoms and one axial oxygen atom, which are embedded within the carbon matrix (Ni-N4 -O/C). The Ni-N4 -O/C electrocatalyst exhibited excellent CO2 RR performance with a maximum CO Faradic efficiency (FE) close to 100 % at -0.9 V. The CO FE could be maintained above 90 % in a wide range of potential window from -0.5 to -1.1 V. The superior CO2 RR activity is due to the Ni-N4 -O active moiety composed of a Ni-N4 site with an additional oxygen atom that induces an axial traction effect.

Abstract
The current environmental situation requires taking actions regarding processes for energy production, thus promoting renewable energies, which must be complemented with the development of routes to reduce pollution, such as the capture and storage of CO2. Graphene materials have been chosen for their unique properties to be used either as electrocatalyst or as catalyst support (mainly for non-noble metals) that develop adequate efficiencies for this reaction. This review focuses on comparing experimental and theoretical results of the electrochemical reduction reaction of carbon dioxide (ECO2RR) described in the scientific literature to establish a correlation between them. This work aims to establish the state of the art on the electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide on graphene-based catalysts.

Abstract
Electroreduction carbon dioxide into formate has been regarded as a hopeful measure to relieve global warming. Copper-based hollow fibers demonstrated good performances on converting carbon dioxide in previous researches. Herein Cu-Sn alloy hollow fibers were synthesized in an innovative way, combining the structure advantages of hollow fiber and high selectivity towards formate on η' bronze. Tests under different gas injection conditions were conducted to analyze the contribution of the hollow fiber structure on suppression of hydrogen evolution and promotion on kinetics. Strikingly, Cu-Sn45 % hollow fiber, the optimal catalyst in this work, achieved a highest faradaic efficiency towards formate of 90.96 % at a lower potential of -0.75 V vs. RHE than most non-noble catalysts, and the FE of H2 was below 4 %.

Abstract
Atomically dispersed metal-nitrogen sites-anchored carbon materials have been developed as effective catalysts for CO2 electroreduction (CO2ER), but they still suffer from the imprecisely control of type and coordination number of N atoms bonded with central metal. Herein, we develop a family of single metal atom bonded by N atoms anchored on carbons (SAs-M-N-C, M = Fe, Co, Ni, Cu) for CO2ER, which composed of accurate pyrrole-type M-N4 structures with isolated metal atom coordinated by four pyrrolic N atoms. Benefitting from atomically coordinated environment and specific selectivity of M-N4 centers, SAs-Ni-N-C exhibits superior CO2ER performance with onset potential of - 0.3 V, CO Faradaic efficiency (F.E.) of 98.5% at - 0.7 V, along with low Tafel slope of 115 mV dec-1 and superior stability of 50 h, exceeding all the previously reported M-N-C electrocatalysts for CO2-to-CO conversion. Experimental results manifest that the different intrinsic activities of M-N4 structures in SAs-M-N-C result in the corresponding sequence of Ni > Fe > Cu > Co for CO2ER performance. An integrated Zn-CO2 battery with Zn foil and SAs-Ni-N-C is constructed to simultaneously achieve CO2-to-CO conversion and electric energy output, which delivers a peak power density of 1.4 mW cm-2 and maximum CO F.E. of 93.3%.
