Abstract:
CO 2 accumulation causes a serious environmental concern, making it imperative and necessary to investigate CO 2 transformation techniques. CO 2 catalytic conversion is a promising strategy to convert CO 2 to industrial products such as methane, methanol, and so on. Single-atom catalysts (SACs) with isolated metals on supports have emerged as attractive and efficient catalysts for CO 2 conversion owing to their maximum atomic utilization, high catalytic activities and selectivities, and easier design and regulation of structures. Despite substantial efforts on fabricating SACs for CO 2 conversion, few review articles focus on the mechanisms of SACs for CO 2 electrocatalysis, photocatalysis, and thermo-catalysis. In this review paper, firstly, the synthesis methods of SACs are summarized. Then the mechanisms of SACs for CO 2 electrochemical reduction, photocatalytic reduction, and thermo-catalytic reduction are discussed. Finally, challenges and future suggestions for the design of SACs are expounded. The current review paper will provide guidance on rational design of SACs with high catalytic activity and selectivity for CO 2 conversion.
