Application of Metal Catalysts in Electrocatalytic CO2 Reduction Reaction
In the context of carbon peak and carbon neutrality(referred to as dual carbon),it is urgent to develop efficient CO2 conversion technologies.Electrocatalytic reduction of CO2 is an effective CO2 conversion method that has developed rapidly in recent years,this method can adjust the reaction process and product distribution by adjusting reaction conditions such as applied potential,catalyst,electrolytic cell,and electrolyte,it has the characteristics of cleanliness,efficiency,and easy regulation.Based on the research achievements in electrocatalytic reduction of CO2,this paper briefly describes the reaction principle of electrocatalytic reduction of CO2,reviews the research progress of metal catalysts on the selectivity and yield of reduction products,introduces the influence of different structures and compositions of precious metal based catalysts and non precious metal based catalysts on electrocatalytic reduction of CO2,including activity,selectivity,stability,etc.,and looks forward to the development direction of electrocatalytic reduction of CO2 catalysts,so as to better apply metal catalysts in electrocatalytic CO2 reduction reactions.
