Asymmetric dinitrogen-coordinated nickel single-atomic sites for efficient CO2 electroreduction

Overview
Developing highly efficient, selective and low-overpotential electrocatalysts for carbon dioxide (CO

Operando synchrotron-based infrared and X-ray absorption spectra, and theoretical calculations reveal that mono CO-adsorbed Ni single sites formed during electrochemical processes contribute to the balance between key intermediates formation and CO desorption, providing insights into the catalyst’s origin of catalytic activity. Overall, this work presents a Ni single-atom catalyst with good selectivity and activity for CO
