The continuously increasing CO2 released from human activities poses a great threat to
human survival by fluctuating global climate and disturbing carbon balance among the four …

The global temperature increase must be limited to below 1.5° C to alleviate the worst effects
of climate change. Electrocatalytic CO2 reduction (ECO2R) to generate chemicals and …

It remains a challenge to identify the active sites of bismuth catalysts in the electrochemical
CO2 reduction reaction. Here we show through in situ characterization that the activation of …

Human activities primarily rely on the consumption of the fossil energy, which has led to an
energy crisis and environmental pollution. Since the industrial revolution, the atmospheric …

Electrochemical reduction of CO2 (CO2R) to formic acid upgrades waste CO2; however, up
to now, chemical and structural changes to the electrocatalyst have often led to the …

The excessive global emission of greenhouse gases (mainly carbon dioxide, CO 2 and
methane, CH 4), especially due to the burning of fossil fuel for energy and power generation …

Selective CO2 reduction to formic acid or formate is the most technologically and
economically viable approach to realize electrochemical CO2 valorization. Main group metal …

The surface and interfaces of heterogeneous catalysts are essential to their performance as
they are often considered to be active sites for catalytic reactions. With the development of …

Using surface-engineered chemical composites to enhance the binding energy of reaction
intermediates and the conductivity is an attractive route to achieve a high partial current …

Formic acid (or formate) is suggested to be one of the most economically viable products
from electrochemical carbon dioxide reduction. However, its commercial viability hinges on …
