Abstract
Tuning the surroundings of single-atom catalysts (SACs) has been recognized as a successful approach to enhance their electrocatalytic efficiency. In this study, we utilized density functional theory (DFT) computations to systematically investigate how the coordination environment influences the catalytic performance of individual molybdenum atoms for the nitrogen reduction reaction (NRR) to NH3. Upon comparing an extensive array of coordination combinations, Mo-based SACs were found to feature a distinctive N, P-dual coordination. Specifically, MoN3P1G demonstrates superior performance in the conversion of nitrogen into ammonia with an exceptionally low limiting potential (-0.64 V). This MoN3P1G catalyst preferably follows the distal pathway, with the initial hydrogenation step (*N2 → *NNH) being the rate-determining step. Additionally, MoN3P1G exhibits the ability to suppress competing H2 production, showcases high thermodynamic stability, and holds significant promise for experimental preparation. These findings not only contribute to diversifying the SAC family through localized coordination control but also present cost-effective strategies for enhancing sustainable NH3 production.

Abstract
CO2 electrolyzers have progressed rapidly in energy efficiency and catalyst selectivity toward valuable chemical feedstocks and fuels, such as syngas, ethylene, ethanol, and methane. However, each component within these complex systems influences the overall performance, and the further advances needed to realize commercialization will require an approach that considers the whole process, with the electrochemical cell at the center. Beyond the cell boundaries, the electrolyzer must integrate with upstream CO2 feeds and downstream separation processes in a way that minimizes overall product energy intensity and presents viable use cases. Here we begin by describing upstream CO2 sources, their energy intensities, and impurities. We then focus on the cell, the most common CO2 electrolyzer system architectures, and each component within these systems. We evaluate the energy savings and the feasibility of alternative approaches including integration with CO2 capture, direct conversion of flue gas and two-step conversion via carbon monoxide. We evaluate pathways that minimize downstream separations and produce concentrated streams compatible with existing sectors. Applying this comprehensive upstream-to-downstream approach, we highlight the most promising routes, and outlook, for electrochemical CO2 reduction.

Abstract
Electric-driven conversion of carbon dioxide (CO2 ) to carbon monoxide (CO) under mild reaction conditions offers a promising approach to mitigate the greenhouse effect and the energy crisis. Surface engineering is believed to be one of the prospective methods for enhancing the electrocatalytic activity of CO2 reduction. Herein, hydroxyl (OH) groups were successfully introduced to cadmium nanosheets to form cadmium and cadmium hydroxide nanocomposites (i. e. Cd/Cd(OH)2 nanosheets) via a facile two-step method. The as-prepared Cd/Cd(OH)2 /CP (CP indicates carbon paper) electrode displays excellent electrocatalytic activity for CO2 reduction to produce CO. The Faradaic efficiency of CO reaches 98.3 % and the current density achieves 23.8 mA cm-2 at -2.0 V vs. Ag/Ag+ in a CO2 -saturated 30 wt% 1-butyl-3-methylimidazole hexafluorophosphate ([Bmim]PF6 )-65 wt% acetonitrile (CH3 CN)-5 wt% water (H2 O) electrolyte. And the CO partial current density can reach up to 71.6 mA cm-2 with the CO Faradaic efficiency of more than 85 % at -2.3 V vs. Ag/Ag+ , which stands out against Cd/CP, Cd(OH)2 /CP, and Cd/CdO/CP electrodes. The excellent electrocatalytic performance of the Cd/Cd(OH)2 /CP electrode can be attributed to its unique structural properties, suitable OH groups, perfect interaction with electrolyte, abundant active sites and fast electron transfer rate.

Abstract
Single-site transition-metal-doped photocatalysts can potentially be used for partial oxidation of methane (POM) at remote sites where natural gas is extracted and methane is often flared or released to the atmosphere. While there have been several investigations into the performance of vanadium, there has been no general survey of the performance of other metals. This work aims and examines Cr, Nb, and W metal oxide materials embedded in amorphous SiO2 to determine the viability of each metal in catalyzing the POM. Photoexcited states are examined to determine the nature of the photoactivated species, and then the subsequent POM reaction mechanisms are elucidated. Using the calculated energies of reaction intermediates and transition states, the rate of methanol formation is evaluated through the use of a microkinetic model. The findings indicate that all three metals are potentially more suitable for catalyzing POM than vanadium but that niobium shows the most favorable energy profile.

Abstract
N-doped carbon materials can be efficient and cost-effective catalysts for the electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (CO2 RR). Activators are often used in the synthesis process to increase the specific surface area and porosity of these carbon materials. However, owing to the diversity of activators and the differences in physicochemical properties that these activators induce, the influence of activators used for the synthesis of N-doped carbon catalysts on their electrochemical performance is unclear. In this study, a series of bagasse-derived N-doped carbon catalysts is prepared with the assistance of different activators to understand the correlation between activators, physicochemical properties, and electrocatalytic performance for the CO2 RR. The properties of N-doped carbon catalysts, such as N-doping content, microstructure, and degree of graphitization, are found to be highly dependent on the type of activator applied in the synthesis procedure. Moreover, the overall CO2 RR performance of the synthesized electrocatalysts is not determined only by the N-doping level and the configuration of the N-dopant, but rather by the overall surface chemistry, where the porosity and the degree of graphitization are jointly responsible for significant differences in CO2 RR performance.

Abstract
Electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR), which uses renewable electricity to produce high-value-added chemicals, offers an alternative clean path to the carbon cycle. However, bismuth-based catalysts show great potential for the conversion of CO2 and water to formate, but their overall efficiency is still hampered by the weak CO2 adsorption, low electrical conductivity, and slow mass transfer of CO2 molecules. Herein, we report that a rationally modulated nitrogen-doped graphene aerogel matrix (NGA) can significantly enhance the CO2RR performance of bismuth nanoplates (BiNPs) by both modulating the electronic structure of bismuth and regulating the interface for chemical reaction and mass transfer environments. In particular, the NGA prepared by reducing graphene oxide (GO) with hydrazine hydrate (denoted as NGAhdrz) exhibits significantly enhanced strong metal-support interaction (SMSI), increased specific surface area, strengthened CO2 adsorption, and modulated wettability. As a result, the Bi/NGAhdrz exhibits significantly boosted CO2RR properties, with a Faradaic efficiency (FE) of 96.4% at a current density of 51.4 mA cm-2 for formate evolution at a potential of -1.0 V versus reversible hydrogen electrode (vs RHE) in aqueous solution under ambient conditions.

Abstract
Heterogeneous catalysts, especially metal oxides, play a curial role in improving energy conversion efficiency and production of valuable chemicals. However, the surface structure at the atomic level and the nature of active sites are still ambiguous due to the dynamism of surface structure and difficulty in structure characterization under electrochemical conditions. This paper describes a strategy of the multiscale simulation to investigate the SnO x reduction process and to build a structure-performance relation of SnO x for CO2 electroreduction. Employing high-dimensional neural network potential accelerated molecular dynamics and stochastic surface walking global optimization, coupled with density functional theory calculations, we propose that SnO2 reduction is accompanied by surface reconstruction and charge density redistribution of active sites. A regulatory factor, the net charge, is identified to predict the adsorption capability for key intermediates on active sites. Systematic electronic analyses reveal the origin of the interaction between the adsorbates and the active sites. These findings uncover the quantitative correlation between electronic structure properties and the catalytic performance of SnO x so that Sn sites with moderate charge could achieve the optimally catalytic performance of the CO2 electroreduction to formate.

Abstract
The adsorption and activation of CO2 on the electrode interface is a prerequisite and key step for electrocatalytic CO2 reduction reaction (eCO2 RR). Regulating the interfacial microenvironment to promote the adsorption and activation of CO2 is thus of great significance to optimize overall conversion efficiency. Herein, a CO2-philic hydroxyl coordinated ZnO (ZnO-OH) catalyst is fabricated, for the first time, via a facile MOF-assisted method. In comparison to the commercial ZnO, the as-prepared ZnO-OH exhibits much higher selectivity toward CO at lower applied potential, reaching a Faradaic efficiency of 85% at -0.95 V versus RHE. To the best of our knowledge, such selectivity is one of the best records in ZnO-based catalysts reported till date. Density functional theory calculations reveal that the coordinated surficial -OH groups are not only favorable to interact with CO2 molecules but also function in synergy to decrease the energy barrier of the rate-determining step and maintain a higher charge density of potential active sites as well as inhibit undesired hydrogen evolution reaction. Our results indicate that engineering the interfacial microenvironment through the introduction of CO2-philic groups is a promising way to achieve the global optimization of eCO2 RR via promoting adsorption and activation of CO2.

Abstract
Surface impurities involving parasitic reactions and gas evolution contribute to the degradation of high Ni content LiNixMnyCozO2 (NMC) cathode materials. The transient kinetic technique of temporal analysis of products (TAP), density functional theory, and infrared spectroscopy have been used to study the formation of surface impurities on varying nickel content NMC materials (NMC811, NMC622, NMC532, NMC433, NMC111) in the presence of CO2 and H2O. CO2 reactivity on a clean surface as characterized by CO2 conversion rate in the TAP reactor follows the order: NMC811 > NMC622 > NMC532 > NMC433 > NMC111. The capacity of CO2 uptake follows a different order: NMC532 > NMC433 > NMC622 > NMC811 > NMC111. Moisture pretreatment slows down the direct CO2 adsorption process and creates additional active sites for CO2 adsorption. Electronic structure calculations predict that the (012) surface is more reactive than the (1014) surface for CO2 and H2O adsorption. CO2 adsorption leading to carbonate formation is exothermic with formation of ion pairs. The average CO2 binding energies on the different materials follow the CO2 reactivity order. Water hydroxylates the (012) surface and surface OH groups favor bicarbonate formation. Water creates more active sites for CO2 adsorption on the (1014) surface due to hydrogen bonding. The composition of surface impurities formed in ambient air exposure is dependent on water concentration and the percentage of different crystal planes. Different surface reactivities suggest that battery performance degradation due to surface impurities can be mitigated by precise control of the dominant surfaces in NMC materials.

Abstract
The electroreduction of CO2 into the highly value-added fuel formic acid (HCOOH) has been considered an ideal approach to convert renewable energy and mitigate environmental crisis. SnO2 electrode is one of the promising candidates to electrocatalytically convert CO2 to HCOOH, but its poor stability limits its future development and application. In this study, highly stable SnO2 /Bi2 O3 oxide catalysts are obtained by distributing SnO2 nanoparticles on the surface of Bi2 O3 sheets. The XPS spectra revealed an interfacial electronic transportation from Bi2 O3 sheets to SnO2 nanoparticles, which made SnO2 rich of electrons. The strong interfacial interaction protected the active sites of SnO2 from self-reduction in CO2 electroreduction reaction (CO2 RR), stabilizing SnO2 species in the composite catalyst even after long-term usage. Calculations based on density functional theory signified that the presence of Bi2 O3 favored the adsorption of HCOO* intermediate, improved the CO2 conversion into HCOOH on SnO2 /Bi2 O3 interface. As a result, the SnO2 /Bi2 O3 catalyst attained high performance on CO2 RR (the highest FE C 1 value of 90 % at -1.0 V vs. RHE), suppressing H2 evolution reaction (HER) at high potentials. In particular, the selectivity of HCOOH remained above 76 % in a wide potential window (from -1.0 to -1.4 V vs. RHE) and a long duration (12 h).

Abstract
The electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) to form highly valued chemicals is a sustainable solution to address the environmental issues caused by excessive CO2 emissions. Generally, it is challenging to achieve high efficiency and selectivity simultaneously in the CO2RR due to multi-proton/electron transfer processes and complex reaction intermediates. Among the studied formulations, bimetallic catalysts have attracted significant attention with promising activity, selectivity, and stability. Engineering the atomic arrangement of bimetallic nanocatalysts is a promising strategy for the rational design of structures (intermetallic, core/shell, and phase-separated structures) to improve catalytic performance. This review summarizes the recent advances, challenges, and opportunities in developing bimetallic catalysts for the CO2RR. In particular, we firstly introduce the possible reaction pathways on bimetallic catalysts concerning the geometric and electronic properties of intermetallic, core/shell, and phase-separated structures at the atomic level. Then, we critically examine recent advances in crystalline structure engineering for bimetallic catalysts, aiming to establish the correlations between structures and catalytic properties. Finally, we provide a perspective on future research directions, emphasizing current challenges and opportunities.

Abstract
The electroreduction of CO2 is one of the most investigated reactions and involves testing a large number and variety of catalysts. The majority of experimental electrocatalysis studies use conventional one-sample-at-a-time methods without providing spatially resolved catalytic activity information. Herein, we present the application of scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM) for simultaneous screening of different catalysts forming an array. We demonstrate the potential of this method for electrocatalytic assessment of an array consisting of three Sn/SnOx catalysts for CO2 reduction to formate (CO2RF). Simultaneous SECM scans with fast scan (1 V s-1) cyclic voltammetry detection of products (HCOO-, CO and H2) at the Pt ultramicroelectrode tip were performed. We were able to consistently distinguish the electrocatalytic activities of the three compositionally and morphologically different Sn/SnOx catalysts. Further development of this technique for larger catalyst arrays and matrices coupled with machine learning based algorithms could greatly accelerate the CO2 electroreduction catalyst discovery.

Abstract
Electrocatalytic reduction of CO2 to manufacture fuels and other useful chemicals is one of the appealing methods to reuse CO2. Herein, electrocatalytic CO2 reduction on a model α-Fe2O3(0001) surface catalyst has been investigated by means of density functional theory. This systematic study, involving 20 reaction intermediates and 63 distinct elementary reaction steps, has allowed the identification of a novel mechanism for the decomposition of the key intermediate *COOH. Methanol is the preferred product, with an overpotential of 0.8 V, over carbon monoxide (CO), formic acid (HCOOH), and formaldehyde (CH2O). Formaldehyde formed on the surface will be converted into methanol. This work demonstrates the need for a complete investigation of possible pathways to find the most favourable one, beyond chemical intuition. Moreover, it suggests that hematite could be an interesting material for CO2 reduction.

Abstract
Design and fabrication of efficient electrocatalysts is essential for electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2). In this work, bismuth (Bi)-doped SnO nanosheets were grown on copper foam (Bi-SnO/Cu foam) by a one-step hydrothermal reaction method and applied for the electrochemical reduction of CO2 to formic acid (HCOOH). The experimental results indicated that Bi doping stabilized the divalent tin (Sn2+) existing on the surface of the electrocatalyst, making it difficult to be reduced to metallic tin (Sn0) during the electrochemical reduction process. In addition, combining with density functional theory (DFT) calculations, it is found that Bi doping and electron transfer from the catalyst to the Cu foam substrate could enhance the adsorption of *OOCH intermediates. As such, the Bi-doped SnO electrocatalyst exhibited a superior faradaic efficiency of 93% at -1.7 V (vs Ag/AgCl) for the reduction of CO2 to HCOOH, together with a current density of 12 mA cm-2 and excellent stability in at least 30 h of operation.

Abstract
The electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide into carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons and formic acid has offered an interesting alternative for a sustainable energy scenario. In this context, Sn-based electrodes have attracted a great deal of attention because they present low price and toxicity, as well as high faradaic efficiency (FE) for formic acid (or formate) production at relatively low overpotentials. In this work, we investigate the role of tin oxide surfaces on Sn-based electrodes for carbon dioxide reduction into formate by means of experimental and theoretical methods. Cyclic voltammetry measurements of Sn-based electrodes, with different initial degree of oxidation, result in similar onset potentials for the CO2 reduction to formate, ca. −0.8 to −0.9 V vs. reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE), with faradaic efficiencies of about 90–92% at −1.25 V (vs. RHE). These results indicate that under in-situ conditions, the electrode surfaces might converge to very similar structures, with partially reduced or metastable Sn oxides, which serve as active sites for the CO2 reduction. The high faradaic efficiencies of the Sn electrodes brought by the etching/air exposition procedure is ascribed to the formation of a Sn oxide layer with optimized thickness, which is persistent under in situ conditions. Such oxide layer enables the CO2 “activation”, also favoring the electron transfer during the CO2 reduction reaction due to its better electric conductivity. In order to elucidate the reaction mechanism, we have performed density functional theory calculations on different slab models starting from the bulk SnO and Sn6O4(OH)4 compounds with focus on the formation of -OH groups at the water-oxide interface. We have found that the insertion of CO2 into the Sn-OH bond is thermodynamically favorable, leading to the stabilization of the tin-carbonate species, which is subsequently reduced to produce formic acid through a proton-coupled electron transfer process. The calculated potential for CO2 reduction (E = −1.09 V vs. RHE) displays good agreement with the experimental findings and, therefore, support the CO2 insertion onto Sn-oxide as a plausible mechanism for the CO2 reduction in the potential domain where metastable oxides are still present on the Sn surface. These results not only rationalize a number of literature divergent reports but also provide a guideline for the design of efficient CO2 reduction electrocatalysts.

Abstract
Copper-based bimetallic catalysts have been recently showing promising performance for the selective electrochemical reduction of CO2. In this work, we successfully fabricated the partially reduced oxides SnOx, CuOxmodified Cu foam electrode (A-Cu/SnO2) through an electrodeposition-annealing-electroreduction approach. Notably, in comparison with the control electrode (Cu/SnO2) without undergoing annealing step, A-Cu/SnO2 exhibits a significant enhancement in terms of CO2 reduction activity and CO selectivity. By investigating the effect of the amount of the electrodeposited SnO2, it is found that A-Cu/SnO2 electrodes present the characteristic Sn-Cu synergistic catalysis with a feature of dominant CO formation (CO faradaic efficiency, 70~75%), the least HCOOH formation (HCOOH faradaic efficiency, <5%) and the remarkable inhibition of hydrogen evolution reaction. In contrast, Cu/SnO2 electrodes exhibit a SnO2 coverage-dependent catalysis—a shift from CO selectivity to HCOOH selectivity with the increasing deposited SnO2 on Cu foam. The different catalytic performance between Cu/SnO2 and A-Cu/SnO2 might be attributed to the different content of Cu atoms in SnO2 layer, which may affect the density of Cu-Sn interface on the surface. Our work provides a facile annealing-electroreduction strategy to modify the surface composition for understanding the metal effect towards CO2 reduction activity and selectivity for bimetallic Cu-based electrocatalysts.

Abstract
Emissions of CO2 from fossil fuel combustion and industrial processes have been regarded as the dominant cause of global warming. Electrochemical CO2 reduction (ECR), ideally in aqueous media, could potentially solve this problem by the storage of energy from renewable sources in the form of chemical energy in fuels or value-added chemicals in a sustainable manner. However, because of the sluggish reaction kinetics of the ECR, efficient, selective, and durable electrocatalysts are required to increase the rate this reaction. Despite considerable progress in using bulk metallic electrodes for catalyzing the ECR, greater efforts are still needed to tackle this grand challenge. In this Review, we highlight recent progress in using nanoengineering strategies to promote the electrocatalysts for the ECR. Through these approaches, considerable improvements in catalytic performance have been achieved. An outlook of future developments in applying and optimizing these strategies is also proposed.

Abstract
The worldwide unrestrained emission of carbon dioxide (CO2) has caused serious environmental pollution and climate change issues. For the sustainable development of human civilization, it is very desirable to convert CO2 to renewable fuels through clean and economical chemical processes. Recently, electrocatalytic CO2 conversion is regarded as a prospective pathway for the recycling of carbon resource and the generation of sustainable fuels. In this review, recent research advances in electrocatalytic CO2 reduction are summarized from both experimental and theoretical aspects. The referred electrocatalysts are divided into different classes, including metal-organic complexes, metals, metal alloys, inorganic metal compounds and carbon-based metal-free nanomaterials. Moreover, the selective formation processes of different reductive products, such as formic acid/formate (HCOOH/HCOO-), monoxide carbon (CO), formaldehyde (HCHO), methane (CH4), ethylene (C2H4), methanol (CH3OH), ethanol (CH3CH2OH), etc. are introduced in detail, respectively. Owing to the limited energy efficiency, unmanageable selectivity, low stability, and indeterminate mechanisms of electrocatalytic CO2 reduction, there are still many tough challenges need to be addressed. In view of this, the current research trends to overcome these obstacles in CO2 electroreduction field are summarized. We expect that this review will provide new insights into the further technique development and practical applications of CO2 electroreduction.
