Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) represent a class of porous material which is formed by strong bonds between metal ions and linkers. By careful selection constituents, MOFs can exhibit very high surface area, large pore volume, excellent chemical stability. Research on synthesis, structures properties various has shown that they are promising materials for many applications, such as energy storage, gas heterogeneous catalysis sensing. Apart from direct use, have also been used support...
Single-atom catalysts (SACs) have emerged as attractive materials for the electrocatalytic carbon dioxide reduction (ECO2R). Dual-atom (DACs), an extension of SACs, exhibit more compelling functionalities due to synergistic effects between adjacent metal atoms. However, rational design, clear coordination mode, and in-depth understanding heteronuclear dual-atom mechanisms remain elusive. Herein, a Ni-Ag catalyst loaded on defective nitrogen-rich porous carbon, denoted Ni-Ag/PC-N, was...
