Representative Research
The electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide to value-added fuels and chemicals.
Under the background of national Carbon Neural strategy, converting the greenhouse gas CO2 into value-added liquid or gaseous fuels is a significant way to mitigate large amounts of carbon dioxide emissions and the shortage of nonrenewable fossil fuels. Because CO2 reduction reactions (CO2RR) can be performed at ambient temperature and atmospheric pressure with high selectivity and energy efficiency and the electricity used to drive the reactions can come from renewable sources, electrochemical reduction of CO2 has attracted considerable attention in recent years. We have developed a series of high performance catalysts for efficiently reduction of CO2 , including modified single-atom catalyst (Energy & Environ. Sci. 2021, 14, 2349), composite catalyst (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed., 2018, 57, 12790), etc. The potential large-scale application of CO2RR with renewable electricity is predictable under the progress.
