The electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) has the potential to mitigate the rising CO2 levels while storing renewable energy in chemical bonds. Copper is the only single metal electrocatalyst producing high energy dense hydrocarbons, albeit into 1 ...
The urgency of climate change demands the simultaneous removal of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and the transition to renewable energy sources. This aim is realizable through electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2RR), which is a promising ro ...
Polyelemental compounds with dimensions in the nanosized regime are desirable in a large variety of applications, yet their synthesis remains a general challenge in chemistry. One of the major bottlenecks to obtaining multinary systems is the complexity of ...
Molecular surface functionalization of metallic catalysts is emerging as an ever-developing approach to tuning their catalytic performance. Here, we report the synthesis of hybrid catalysts comprising copper nanocrystals (CuNCs) and an imidazolium ligand f ...
The electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) into valuable chemicals has the potential to realize a carbon-neutral energy cycle. Developing catalysts that can achieve high selectivity towards one of the possible reduction products is one of the bigge ...
This work is addressing the arenes' hydrogenation-the processes of high importance for petrochemical, chemical and pharmaceutical industries. Noble metal (Pd, Pt, Ru) nanoparticles (NPs) stabilized in hyper-cross-linked polystyrene (HPS) were shown to be a ...
Electrocatalysts play an important part on the route towards environmental friendly energy sources. They support modern technologies like fuel cells to move further away from the utilization of fossil fuels and the resulting CO2 emission into our atmospher ...
