Co2 Reduction Reaction

Despite its life-threatening long term effects, the continuous increase of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the environment requires immediate actions to control the accelerating climate change. An appealing solution to this problem is to utilize CO2 as feedstock to generate useful chemicals, e.g., fuel, hydrocarbons, and valuable chemicals. The chemical inertness of CO2 needs considerably large energy for its conversion into useful chemicals. Therefore, CO2 reduction reaction requires an effective catalyst for its conversion into fuel (methanol, methane) and industrial chemicals (syngas, formic acid). Recently, two-dimensional layers of early transition metal carbides and nitrides, called MXene, have shown potential for catalysis due to its exposed transition metal sites, and mechanical and chemical stability at high temperatures. Herein, the author presents the MXene as a potential heterogeneous catalyst for the CO2 reduction reaction (CRR), and the future scope in this currently developing field.

<div>Electrochemical reduction of CO2 to useful chemical and fuels in an energy efficient way is currently an expensive and inefficient process. Recently, low-cost transition metal-carbides (TMCs) are proven to exhibit similar electronic structure similarities to Platinum-Group-Metal (PGM) catalysts and hence can be good substitutes for some important reduction reactions. In this work, we test graphenesupported WC (Tungsten Carbide) nanocluster as an electrocatalyst for the CO2 reduction reaction. Specifically, we perform DFT studies to understand various possible reaction mechanisms and determine the lowest thermodynamic energy landscape of CO2 reduction to various products such as CO, HCOOH, CH3OH, and CH4. This in-depth study of reaction energetics could lead to improvements and develop more efficient electrocatalysts for CO2 reduction.<br></div>
