Expanding Catalyst Family for Electrocatalytic Reduction of CO2: JPhysChem CO2 catalyst graphene catalysts carbondioxide
By Shaheer RehanJul 21 2022Reviewed by Megan Craig, M.Sc. For electrolytic reduction of carbon dioxide , copper distributed on 2D materials demonstrates outstanding catalytic activity. In a paper published in The Journal of Physical Chemistry C, a new kind of 2D nanoscale catalyst was developed by mounting clusters of copper on defective diamond graphene.
One possible approach to establishing a balanced carbon cycle is to utilize CO2 as a carbon-containing resource for manufacturing valuable organic substances such as methanol and methane. CO2 may be transformed into a number of carbon-based materials using processes like electrochemical, photochemical, and biological reduction.
Various kinds of copper materials can be used to generate oxygenates and hydrocarbons, applying different potentials. The electrochemical reduction reaction of CO2 using raw Cu requires a significant overpotential, making the process highly energy intensive. Graphene Platforms can Enhance Copper's Catalytic Effects Ever since graphene was discovered, this sophisticated 2D material has been the focus of research in catalyzed conversion and energy storage. The controlled transformation of ethyne to ethene may be achieved by depositing copper atoms onto faulty diamond graphene.
