Excessive emission of CO 2 may jeopardize the environment and livelihood of mankind. To
achieve a sustainable future, solid oxide electrolysis cells (SOECs) are increasingly …

Utilizing CO2 as a sustainable carbon source to form valuable products requires activating it
by active sites on catalyst surfaces. These active sites are usually in or below the nanometer …

Electrochemical reduction of CO2 to chemical fuel offers a promising strategy for managing
the global carbon balance, but presents challenges for chemistry due to the lack of effective …

We resolve the long-standing controversy about the first step of the CO2 electroreduction to
fuels in aqueous electrolytes by providing direct spectroscopic evidence that the first …

Reduction of CO2 to CO on Fe, Co, Ni, and Cu surfaces has been studied using density
functional theory (DFT) methods. Three reaction steps were studied:(a) adsorption of CO2 …

CO2 has a potentially bright future as a carbon resource because it is very cheap and
abundant. The conversion technology of CO2 into useful chemicals therefore has gained …

This study critically reviews the mechanism of CO2 hydrogenation over Ni, Ru, and Cu, and
the effect of catalyst properties and operating conditions on reaction kinetics. Most studies …

Conspectus CO2 is not only a greenhouse gas but also a pivotal carbon source as a
promising supplement to fossil fuels. Both the environment and energy crises have …

Carbon dioxide chemistry has attracted significant interest in recent years. Although the field
is diverse, a current and more comprehensive review of the surface science literature may …

Density functional theory (DFT) of the CO2 behavior on the catalyst surface provides
valuable insights about the C= O bond activation, information about adsorption and …
