Optimizing the Electrocatalytic Selectivity of Carbon Dioxide Reduction Reaction by Regulating the Electronic Structure of Single-Atom M-N-C Materials

Tianmi Tang et al.

Summary: Electrochemical carbon dioxide reduction reaction (CO2RR) is an efficient strategy to convert excess CO2 to value-added products. Atomically dispersed metal-nitrogen-doped carbon (M-N-C) materials are superior catalysts for CO2RR due to their unique structures. However, CO2RR is challenging due to the high energy barrier involved.
