Recent progress in porous organic polymers and their application for CO2 capture

Jiajia Wang et al.

Summary: Carbon capture, storage, and utilization (CCSU) is an effective method for reducing CO2 emissions. Amine aqueous solutions are efficient for CO2 capture due to their large capacity and high selectivity. However, solid adsorbents have gained attention in recent years for CO2 adsorption due to their simplicity and high efficiency. Porous organic polymers (POPs) have shown promise as solid adsorbents for CO2 capture due to their high surface area, adjustable pore size, and easy functionalization. This review provides a detailed overview of different POPs developed in recent years, discussing their design strategies, unique structures, and highlighting the opportunities and challenges associated with POPs.

Elucidation of the Synergistic Effect of Dopants and Vacancies on Promoted Selectivity for CO2 Electroreduction to Formate

Zhongjian Li et al.

Summary: A new type of SnO2 nanosheet with simultaneous N dopants and oxygen vacancies (V-O-rich N-SnO2 NS) exhibits high catalytic selectivity for CO2 conversion to formate (HCOO-) through a likely synergistic effect. The low coordination Sn-N moieties, regulated by V-O and N dopants, serve as active sites with optimal electronic and geometric structures. Theoretical calculations show that the reaction free energy of HCOO* protonation is decreased on the V-O-rich N-SnO2 NS, enhancing HCOO- selectivity and inhibiting the hydrogen evolution reaction.

Dynamic Activation of Adsorbed Intermediates via Axial Traction for the Promoted Electrochemical CO2 Reduction

Xinyue Wang et al.

Summary: An axial traction strategy was developed to optimize the electronic structure of the M-N-4 moiety, leading to atomically dispersed nickel sites coordinated with four nitrogen atoms and one axial oxygen atom embedded within the carbon matrix (Ni-N-4-O/C). This Ni-N-4-O/C electrocatalyst exhibited excellent CO2RR performance with a high CO Faradic efficiency close to 100% at -0.9 V, maintaining the CO FE above 90% in a wide potential window. The superior CO2RR activity is attributed to the axial traction effect induced by the Ni-N-4-O active moiety.
