Abstract
Climate change, global warming, ocean acidification, and the rapid decline in fossil fuel energy resources are just some of the reasons for which the synthesis of highly selective, low-cost and stable electrocatalysts are important for CO2 electrocatalytic reduction. This chapter reviews the general systematic process of electrocatalytic reduction of CO2 from metal nanoparticles to single-atom catalysts, the newly emerging subdiscipline of this field. It lays emphasis on catalyst-support performances by discussing the role of electronic structure to catalytic activity as well as their associated intrinsic and extrinsic effects.
