During the last decades, X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) has become an
indispensable method for probing the structure and composition of heterogeneous catalysts …

Activation of p-block elements to replace the rare and precious transition metals for
renewable energy applications is highly desirable. In this review, we go over recent …

Tuning the electronic structure of a single-atom catalyst (SAC) by controlling its coordination
has been recently shown to be a rather promising strategy for further improving its catalytic …

Single-atom catalysts (SACs) have quickly emerged as a new class of catalytic materials.
When confronted with classical carbon-supported nanoparticulated catalysts (Pt/C), SACs …

In recent years, carbon neutrality has received increasing attention to alleviate climate and
environmental problems. Electrocatalytic CO 2 reduction towards syngas can be an efficient …

Pyridinic N is widely regarded as the active center while pyrrolic N has low-activity in metal-
free N-doped carbon for electrocatalytic CO 2 reduction reaction (CO 2 RR) to CO, but this …

Dual single-cobalt atom-based catalysts were synthesized using CoN 3 sites and N dopants
co-decorated hierarchically porous carbon (HPC-Co) as the matrix to immobilize cobalt …

The severe increase in the CO2 concentration is a causative factor of global warming, which
accelerates the destruction of ecosystems. The massive utilization of CO2 for value-added …

Palladium is unique in the electrocatalytic reduction of CO 2 to formate because of its low or
even near-equilibrium onset potential. However, the inevitably produced CO molecules …

The application of the electrocatalytic CO 2 reduction reaction (CO 2 RR) to high-value-
added carbon items is an incredibly encouraging course for the mitigation of greenhouse …
