Electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) is a very important approach to realize sustainable development. Single-atom catalysts show advantages in both homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis, and considerable progress has been made...
Efforts to bridge the gap between homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis include the use of surface organometallic chemistry, single atom catalysis and monodispersed metal nanoparticles, among others. In case of metal...
Carbonaceous deposits on heterogeneous catalysts are traditionally associated with catalyst deactivation. However, they can play a beneficial role in many catalytic processes, e.g. dehydrogenation, hydrogenation, alkylation, isomerisation, Fischer–Tropsch, MTO etc. This review highlights the role and mechanism by which coke deposits can enhance catalytic performance.
