J Colloid Interface Sci 2024; 665:365-375. [PMID: 38537585 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2024.03.137] [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: 11/19/2023] [Revised: 03/18/2024] [Accepted: 03/20/2024] [Indexed: 04/17/2024]
Abstract
Exploring highly selective and stable electrocatalysts is of great significance for the electrochemical conversion of CO2 into fuel. Herein, a three-dimensional (3D) nanostructure catalyst was developed by doping Pb single-atom (PbSA) in-situ on carbon paper (PbSA100-Cu/CP) through a low-energy and economical method. The designed catalyst exhibited abundant active sites and was beneficial to CO2 adsorption, activation, and subsequent conversion to fuel. Interestingly, PbSA100-Cu/CP showed a prominent Faraday efficiency (FE) of 97 % at -0.9 V versus reversible hydrogen electrode (vs. RHE) and a high partial current density of 27.9 mA·cm-2 for formate. Also, the catalyst remained significantly stable for 60 h during the durability test. The reaction mechanism was investigated by density functional theory (DFT), demonstrating that the doping PbSA induced the electrons redistribution, promoted the formate generation, reduced the rate-determining step (RDS) energy barrier, and inhibited the hydrogen evolution reaction. The study aims to provide a new strategy for developing of single-atom catalysts with high selectivity and stability, which will help reduce environmental pressure and alleviate energy problems.

Abstract
Electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (eCO2RR) is a viable approach to achieve carbon neutrality. Bismuth-based electrocatalysts demonstrate exceptional selectivity in CO2-to-formate conversion, but their reconstruction mechanisms during the eCO2RR remain elusive. Herein, the reconstruction processes of bismuth molybdate (Bi2MoO6) nanoplates are elucidated during the eCO2RR. Operando and ex situ measurements reveal the in situ partial reduction of Bi2MoO6 to Bi metal, forming Bi@Bi2MoO6 at negative potentials. Meanwhile, CO32- ions in the electrolyte spontaneously exchange with MoO42- in Bi2MoO6. The obtained Bi@Bi2MoO6/Bi2O2CO3 delivers a formate Faradaic efficiency (FE) of 95.2% at -1.0 V. Notably, high formate FEs (>90%) are maintained within a wide 500 mV window. Although computational calculations indicate a higher energy barrier for *OCHO formation on Bi2O2CO3, the prevention of excessive reduction to metal Bi significantly enhances long-term stability. Furthermore, the CO32- ion exchange process occurs in various 2D Bi-containing precatalysts, which should be emphasized in further studies.

Abstract
The intensification of fossil fuel usage results in significant air pollution levels. Efforts have been put into developing efficient technologies capable of converting air pollution into valuable products, including fuels and valuable chemicals (e.g., CO2 to hydrocarbon and syngas and NOx to ammonia). Among the strategic efforts to mitigate the excessive concentration of CO2 and NOx pollutants in the atmosphere, the electrochemical reduction technology of CO2 (CO2RR) and NOx (NOxRR) emerges as one of the most promising approaches. It is even more attractive if CO2RR and NOxRR are paired with renewables to store intermittent electricity in the form of chemical feedstocks. This review provides an overview of the electrochemical reduction process to convert CO2 to C1 and/or C2+ chemicals and NOx to ammonia (NH3) with a focus on electrocatalysts, electrolytes, electrolyzer, and catalytic reactor designs toward highly selective electrochemical conversion of the desired products. While the attempts in these aspects are enormous, economic consideration and environmental feasibility for actual implementation are not comprehensively provided. We discuss CO2RR and NOxRR from the life cycle and techno-economic analyses to perceive the feasibility of the current achievements. The remaining challenges associated with the industrial implementation of electrochemical CO2 and NOx reduction are additionally provided.

Abstract
To mitigate excessively accumulated carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere and tackle the associated environmental concerns, green and effective approaches are necessary. The electrocatalytic CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) using sustainable electricity under benign reaction conditions represents a viable way to produce value-added and profitable chemicals. In this minireview, recent studies regarding unary Bi electrocatalysts and binary BiSn electrocatalysts are symmetrically categorized and reviewed, as they disclose high faradaic efficiencies toward the production of formate/formic acid, which has a relatively higher value of up to 0.50 $·per kg and has been widely used in the chemical and pharmaceutical industry. In particular, the preparation methodologies, electrocatalyst morphologies, catalytic performances and the corresponding mechanisms are comprehensively presented. The use of solid-state electrolytes showing high economic prospects for directly obtaining high-purity formic acid is highlighted. Finally, the remaining questions and challenges for CO2RR exploitations using Bi-related electrocatalysts are proposed, while perspectives and the corresponding strategies aiming to enhance their entire catalytic functionalities and boost their performance are provided.

Abstract
Electrochemical reduction of CO2 (CO2 RR) to formate is a promising route to prepare value-added chemical. Developing low-cost and efficient electrocatalysts with high product selectivity is still a grand challenge. Herein, a novel Cu anchored on hollow carbon spheres catalysts (HCS/Cu-x, x represents the mass of CuCl2 added in the system) is designed with controllable copper/carbon heterogenous interfaces. Rich copper/carbon heterogenous interfaces and hollow structure of optimized HCS/Cu-0.12 catalyst are beneficial to charge transmission. Compared with the CO2 RR occurred in aqueous electrolyte over Cu-based catalyst that has been reported to date, it exhibits highest formate Faradaic efficiency (FE) of 82.4% with a current density of 26 mA cm-2 and remarkable stability in a H-cell.

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.
