Abstract
Metal-functionalized porphyrin-like graphene structures are promising electrocatalysts for carbon dioxide reduction reaction (CO2RR) as their metal centers can modulate activity. Yet, the role of metal center of metalloporphyrins (MTPPs) in CO2 reaction activity is still lacking deep understanding. Here, CO2RR mechanism on MTPPs with five different metal centers (M = Fe, Co, Cu, Zn and Ni) are examined by first-principles calculations. The *COOH formation is the rate determined step on the five MTPP structures, and the CoTPP exhibits the best CO2RR activity while ZnTPP and NiTPP are the worst, which is also verified by our experiment. The CO2RR activity is controlled by adsorption states of intermediates (*CO, *COOH), i.e., chemisorption (e.g., on CoTPP) and physisorption (on ZnTPP and NiTPP) of intermediates will lead to good and poor activity, respectively. The deeper the d-band center of the porphyrin ring complexed metal atom, the weaker bonding of MTPP with CO and COOH. Theoretical calculations and experimental results indicate that MTPPs with Co and Fe centers lead to a reduction in the energy barriers for the two uphill reaction steps in the electrocatalytic CO2 reduction process, thereby enhancing CO2 reduction electrocatalytic activity. Faradaic efficiency of CO is correlated with the reaction energy barrier of the first proton-coupled electron reduction process, displaying a strong linear correlation. This work provides a fundamental understanding of MTPPs used as electrocatalysts for CO2RR.

Abstract
The electrocatalytic carbon dioxide reduction reaction is an effective means of combating the greenhouse effect caused by massive carbon dioxide emissions. Carbon nitride in the graphitic phase (g-C3N4) has excellent chemical stability and unique structural properties that allow it to be widely used in energy and materials fields. However, due to its relatively low electrical conductivity, to date, little effort has been made to summarize the application of g-C3N4 in the electrocatalytic reduction of CO2. This review focuses on the synthesis and functionalization of g-C3N4 and the recent advances of its application as a catalyst and a catalyst support in the electrocatalytic reduction of CO2. The modification of g-C3N4-based catalysts for enhanced CO2 reduction is critically reviewed. In addition, opportunities for future research on g-C3N4-based catalysts for electrocatalytic CO2 reduction are discussed.

Ag-induced Phase Transition of Bi 2 O 3 Nanofibers for Enhanced Energy Conversion Efficiency towards Formate in CO 2 Electroreduction. Chem Asian J 2023; 18:e202201165. [PMID: 36445811 PMCID: PMC10107736 DOI: 10.1002/asia.202201165] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/16/2022] [Revised: 11/28/2022] [Accepted: 11/28/2022] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
Bi-based electrocatalysts have been widely investigated in the CO2 reduction reaction (CO2 RR) for the formation of formate. However, it remains a challenge to achieve high Faradaic efficiency (FE) and industrial current densities at low overpotentials for obtaining both high formate productivity and energy efficiency (EE). Herein, we report an Ag-Bi2 O3 hybrid nanofiber (Ag-Bi2 O3 ) for highly efficient electrochemical reduction of CO2 to formate. Ag-Bi2 O3 exhibits a formate FE of >90% for current densities from -10 to -250 mA ⋅ cm-2 and attains a yield rate of 11.7 mmol ⋅ s-1 ⋅ m-2 at -250 mA ⋅ cm-2 . Moreover, Ag-Bi2 O3 increased the EE (52.7%) by nearly 10% compared to a Bi2 O3 only counterpart. Structural characterization and in-situ Raman results suggest that the presence of Ag induced the conversion of Bi2 O3 from a monoclinic phase (α-Bi2 O3 ) to a metastable tetragonal phase (β-Bi2 O3 ) and accelerated the formation of active metallic Bi at low overpotentials (at > -0.3 V), which together contributes to the highly efficient formate formation.

Abstract
Spatial charge separation and migration are the critical shortcomings dominating the core energy conversion corridors of photocatalytic systems. Here, a biomimetic multi-interfacial architecture providing strong coupled interaction and rapid charge transmission for photostable and competent photocatalytic H2O2 production and H2 evolution is proposed. The triple-hybrid all-solid-state Z-scheme system was formed with the (001) facet exposed TiO2 nanosheets derived from MXene layers and B-g-C3N4 nanosheets (M/(001)TiO2@BCN) through an electrostatic self-assembly strategy with intimate electronic interaction due to Ti orbital modulation and proper stacking among the hybrids. The metallic and highly conductive MXene layers act as solid state electron mediators in the Z-scheme heterojunction that promote electron-hole separation and migration efficiency. Specifically, the MTBCN-12.5 composite provides optimum yield of H2O2 up to 1480.1 μmol h-1 g-1 and a H2 evolution rate of 408.4 μmol h-1 (with ACE 6.7%), which are 4 and 20 fold greater than the pristine BCN, respectively. The enhanced photocatalytic performance is systematically identified by the increased surface area, higher cathodic and anodic current densities of -1.01 and 2.27 mA cm-2, delayed charge recombination as supported by PL and EIS measurement, and excellent photostability. The Z-scheme charge transfer mechanism is validated by time-resolved photoluminescence (TRPL) analysis, cyclic voltametric analysis, and the radical trapping experiment as detected by PL analysis. This research marks a substantial advancement and establishes the foundation for future design ideas in accelerating charge transfer.
