We discover that an Sb single atom material consisting of Sb–N4 moieties anchored on N-doped carbon nanosheets can serve as a CO2RR catalyst to produce formate with high efficiency.
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...
