Selective production of C 2+ chemicals from photocatalytic CO 2 reduction remains a big challenge due to the inert CO 2 molecular and vague C C coupling process. Herein, contributed by its uniform hexagonal pores, two-dimensional h'-H x WO 3 is selected as the support to realize single atom Cu loading (Cu/WO 3 ). Under the irradiation of light, the h'-H x WO 3 transformed into electron- and proton-rich tungsten bronze, which ensured the supply and transfer of multiple electrons/protons for the CO 2 reduction. Meanwhile, the similar coordination environment and appropriate distance of the Cu active sites presented by the Cu/WO 3 not only enable the adsorption and activation of CO 2 but also enhance the efficient C C coupling. Thus, Cu/WO 3 photocatalyst achieves the conversion of CO 2 to CH 3 COOH with a selectivity of 67 %, which is about 17 times higher than that of pristine h'-H x WO 3 . This work expands the route to prepare highly active single-atom catalysts, benefiting CO 2 photoreduction to selective reduction products.

ABSTRACT The production of renewable fossil fuels such as CH 4 and CO by photocatalytic CO 2 reduction has attracted more and more attention. However, single photocatalyst is less efficient for photocatalytic reduction of CO 2 due to the fast recombination of photogenerated electron pairs. Herein, we successfully prepare CdS-Ag 2 S composite by assembling the Ag 2 S QDs cocatalyst on the surface of CdS nanosheet-assembled flower through oil-bath solvothermal method . This composite is prepared through a simple self-assembly strategy using cadmium chloride, ammonia and thiourea as precursors of the CdS nanosheet-assembled flower and silver nitrate and 3-mercaptopropionic acid as the precursors of Ag 2 S QDs. The average diameter of Ag 2 S QDs is apparently 6.0 nm. The light absorption edge of the composite is at around 560 nm, with the corresponding band gap at 2.14 eV. The CdS-Ag 2 S QDs composite with 5 wt% Ag 2 S QDs loaded achieves CO evolution rate of 16.6 μmol•g −1 •h −1 without noble-metal cocatalysts. This strengthened photocatalytic performance and photocatalytic stability were attributed to the energy band broadening of Ag 2 S QDs caused by quantum size effect and the large specific surface area due to the assembled flower. The mechanism underlying the enhanced photocatalytic CO 2 reduction activity is further proposed. This study demonstrates that semiconductor-based quantum dots are strong candidates for excellent cocatalysts in photocatalysis .

With the assistance of cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB), the delamination of disorderly layered clinoptilolite (CP) was performed. The introduction of CTAB in hydrothermal system was beneficial to stratification of CP lamellas by enlarging interlayer spacing, and thus accelerating the formation of disordered CP nanosheets . The hydrophobic alkyl chain restricts the crystal growth along a-axis and the few-layer CP lamellas with integrally preserved heulandite structures were obtained by ultrasonic treatment and HNO 3 modification at room temperature. Meanwhile, the CTAB-assisted crystallization mechanism was further elucidated, in which, the amorphous spherical nanoparticles were firstly generated and then transformed into the fibrous and lamellar species. Finally, the flower-like CP morphologies with the aggregated nanosheets appeared. Meanwhile, the selective adsorptions and separations of CO 2 and CH 4 using these delaminated CPs as the absorbents were preliminarily explored, showing a strong potential in the mixed gases separation applications. This approach is a promising strategy for constructing delaminated zeolites with low n(SiO 2 /Al 2 O 3 ), which may open a new avenue for the delaminated CP nanosheet applications in gas adsorption and separation fields.

Electrocatalytic CO 2 conversion to value-added chemicals is a fascinating strategy for the sustainable recycling of greenhouse gas while developing a facile synthesis method for highly efficient electrocatalysts remains a great challenge. Herein, the spontaneous alkali corrosion combined with in situ electrochemical restructuring strategy was developed to fabricate the self-supporting Zn nanosheets array (Zn NSs) on Zn foil for CO 2 electroreduction. The in situ transformed two-dimensional Zn NSs provide larger active area and show faster reaction kinetics and electron transfer rate compared with Zn nanoparticles and Zn foil, thus exhibiting outstanding performance for electrocatalytic CO 2 to CO: j CO is 9.9 mA cm −2 and 19.8 mA cm −2 at −0.9 and −1.0 V vs. RHE, respectively; Faraday efficiency (FE) of CO reaches 92% at −0.9 V vs. RHE; the stability can remain 14 h at −0.9 V vs. RHE. This work provides a facile and low-energy-consumption method to fabricate efficient electrocatalysts for CO 2 recycling. Graphical Abstract The present work presents simple spontaneous corrosion and in situ electrochemical restructuring strategy to get Zn nanosheets for electrocatalytic reduction of carbon dioxide, featuring its synthetic strategy and electrocatalytic CO 2 reduction performance.

This paper reports the synthesis and CO2 methanation performance of Ni/CeO2–ZrO2 (CZ) solid solutions assembled on different clay minerals (rectorite, attapulgite, halloysite, and kaolin). The catalytic performance of the samples was examined in temperature range 200−400 °C at normal pressures. The attapulgite (ATP) assembled Ni nps-incorporated-CZ solid solution (Ni–CZA) has the highest CO2 conversion and excellent stability. The CO2 conversion of the Ni–CZA catalyst reached up to 81.2% at 400 °C, and CH4 selectivity was nearly 100%. The catalyst assembled on ATP has excellent adsorption performance and a large specific surface area, resulting in higher Ce3+ and adsorbed oxygen content, thanks to the high content of oxygen vacancies and faster oxygen transfer speed. Mechanistic analysis shows that the H2 dissociates at the Ni site, the CO2 was decomposed into CO and O, and the ATP and CZ provide hydroxyls and oxygen vacancies, respectively, in this composite catalyst.

An ideal strategy for the management of greenhouse gas carbon dioxide (CO2) and surplus industrial product-glycerol (Gly) is to convert them into the valuable glycerol carbonate (GC). However, conventional conversion processes rely on high CO2 pressure and reaction temperature. In this work, a series of easily prepared protic ionic liquids (ILs) were studied for the one-pot synthesis of GC using CO2, Gly, and styrene oxide (SO). A 94% yield of GC was obtained with the catalysis of 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-enenium iodide (HDBUI) under atmospheric pressure at 45 °C. Experimental results and density functional theory (DFT) calculations suggest that the high catalytic activity of HDBUI is attributed to the strong nucleophilicity and substrate activation afforded by the synergistic effect of the protic HDBU+ cation and I− anion. In addition, high GC yields were also obtained when simulated flue gas and crude Gly were used as substrates.

Summary CO 2 reduction to produce value-added chemicals/fuels is generally considered as an effective way to solve the energy crisis and global warming. However, the greatest challenge to the technology is the lack of high-performance catalysts as this process is quite sluggish under mild conditions. Herein, we have carefully prepared a series of bimetallic Pb x Cd y nanoparticles (NPs) as well as their monometallic counterparts via a facile chemical reduction. Electrocatalytic performances of obtained catalysts were evaluated with respect to chemical composition, electrolytic potential, and so on. All of them exhibit high performance and achieve high faradaic efficiency for HCOOH production (FE HCOOH ) over a voltage window of −1.16 to −1.26 V vs the reversible hydrogen electrode (V RHE ). Among them, Pb 3 Cd 1 achieved a maximum FE HCOOH of 96% at −1.16 V RHE and a desirable stability over 12 hours of continuous electrolysis. The excellent performance of Pb 3 Cd 1 can be attributed to the huge specific area of NPs and the synergistic effect of the components. This study shows that efficient bimetallic Pb x Cd y electrocatalysts have a large application potential for highly selective HCOOH production from CO 2 . Highlights Bimetallic PbCd nanoparticles were synthesized by facile chemical reduction for electrocatalytic CO 2 reduction. PbCd nanocatalysts performed well in highly active, selective, and stable HCOOH electrosynthesis from aqueous CO 2 . Pb 3 Cd 1 achieved maximum HCOOH faradaic efficiency of 96% at −1.16 V RHE , a record as far as we know. A stable current density (>7 mA cm −2 ) can be kept after a 12-hours continuous electrolysis.

The CO2 cycloaddition to epoxides is an efficient method for CO2 capture and storage, important not only for reducing greenhouse gas emission but also for producing cyclic carbonates, which are valuable industrial materials. In this study, we report a novel high-nuclearity titanium oxide cluster (TOC) inlayed with main-group element Pb2+, H2Ti16Pb9O24(SA)18(DMF)10(OH2)2 (denoted as 1; SA = salicylate; DMF = N,N-dimethylformamide), which has the property of visible-light absorption and has shown high catalytic activities for cycloadditions of CO2 under visible-light irradiation. The cluster was synthesized in a high yield in a facial solvothermal process. Its structure and electronic structure were characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, density functional theory calculations, and complementary techniques. The cycloaddition reactions were performed under solvent-free conditions. While the catalytic activity due to the Lewis acidity was moderate, visible-light irradiation further folded the reaction rates. The turnover number reached 3400 with a turnover frequency of 120 h–1. Mechanism studies indicated a synergistic effect of the Lewis acidity and photogenerated charge carriers. The performance of 1 in reversible I2 uptake was also investigated. This study demonstrates the high potential of heterometal-decorated TOCs in the cost-effective and efficient CO2 cycloaddition reaction under mild conditions.

Graphical It's a trap ! Through a new “ligand-in-dimer-trap” strategy, the host–guest composites featuring metal–organic framework-encapsulated binuclear NHC−Co complex ( Co 2 @MOF) is prepared and used as a double-sites catalyst, which combines and surpasses the advantages of homo- and heterogeneous catalysis and exhibits prime performance in converting CO 2 into widely used formamides under ambient conditions. Environmental problem caused by carbon emission is of widespread concern. Involving CO 2 as C 1 resource into chemical synthesis is one of the most attractive ways for carbon recycling. Herein, the first example of host–guest composites featuring metal–organic framework (MOF)-encapsulated binuclear N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) complex, Co 2 @MIL101, was developed with the molecularly dispersed [Co(IPr)Br] 2 (μ-Br) 2 ( Co 2 ) loading in the cage of MIL-101(Cr) via a “ligand-in-dimer-trap” strategy, which was comprehensively investigated through various techniques including synchrotron X-ray absorption, electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and others. The noble-metal-free double-sites catalyst Co 2 @MIL101 exhibited promising stability, activity, efficiency, reusability, and substrate adaptability for converting CO 2 into various formamides with amines and hydrosilanes and achieved the best performance for one of the most useful formamides, N -methyl- N -phenylformamide (MFA), among the recyclable catalysts at ambient conditions, providing a reliable approach to successfully unify the advantages of both homo- and heterogeneous catalysts. Density functional theory calculations were applied to illustrate the superior activity of the binuclear NHC complex center as double-sites catalyst toward the activation of CO 2 .

Polymeric ionic liquid membranes (PILMs) were prepared by photo-initiated polymerization of DMAEMA-based ionic liquids (ILs) and co-monomers for the conversion of CO 2 into cyclic carbonates. The influences of functional groups and anions were investigated to find the optimal ionic liquid monomer. The PILM based on [DMAEMA-EtOH]Br exhibited the highest propyl carbonate (PC) yield (98%), which was close to that of the [DMAEMA-EtOH]Br monomer. Moreover, the PILMs can catalyze the gas state propylene oxide (PO) and CO 2 into PC with a PO conversion of 87.3%, while the PO conversion of the pure polymeric ionic liquids was only 3.1% for gas state PO. The excellent catalytic activity can be attributed to the highly active catalytic sites and superb swelling ability of PILMs. The dry PILMs could absorb the PO vapor and swell into membranes with abundant pores, which contained plentiful active sites to catalyze PO and CO 2 to PC efficiently.

Developing highly selective, economical and stable catalysts for the electrochemical conversion of CO 2 into value-added carbon products to mitigate both CO 2 emission and the energy crisis is challenging. We report an efficient and robust electrocatalyst for the CO 2 reduction reaction (CO 2 RR) by embedding CoN 4 active sites in a graphene matrix. These highly dispersed CoN 4 sites show an extraordinary CO 2 RR activity, with a high CO Faradaic efficiency of nearly 95% at −0.76 V (vs. RHE) and remarkable durability. The corresponding overpotential is 0.65 V. Our finding could pave the way for the design at the atomic scale of highly efficient electrocatalysts for the CO 2 RR.

Type I porous liquids (PLs) containing porosity are promising candidates for gas sorption and separation, homogeneous catalysis , and so forth. In this research, large porous silica nanoparticles (PSNs) and hollow wormhole silica nanoparticles (HSNs) are reported to fabricate Type I PLs through a facile synthetic strategy, where polyether amine is linked to nanoparticles by the silane coupling agent for CO 2 capture. Experimental results showed that canopies endow PSNs and HSNs with excellent fluidity along with the thermal stability of PLs at high temperature. The CO 2 sorption capability and dispersion stability were profoundly influenced by the specific surface area and pore size of PLs cores. At 25 °C and 2 bar, the CO 2 sorption capacities of pure M2070, PL_1_M2070, PL_2_M2070, and PL_3_M2070 were 10.9317 cm 3 /g, 9.1295 cm 3 /g, 6.2504 cm 3 /g, and 5.3518 cm 3 /g, respectively. Results showed that CO 2 sorption capability of porous silica nanoparticle assisted PLs with a large specific surface area and small pore sizes was superior. If the pore size was large enough, canopy would enter and fill the pores of silica nanoparticles, preventing part pores and polyether amine from offering active CO 2 sorption sites, thereby minimizing the CO 2 sorption and affecting the stability of the PLs. Sorption kinetics fitting results showed that the CO 2 sorption of PLs was the combination of physical dissolution and chemisorption . Furthermore, the adsorption capacity of PL_1_M2070 was 90.5% of the original CO 2 adsorption capacity after 10 adsorption/desorption cycles, indicating excellent recyclability.
