Organic, Organometallic and Bioorganic Catalysts for Electrochemical Reduction of CO2
نویسندگان
چکیده
A broad review of homogeneous and heterogeneous catalytic approaches toward CO2 reduction using organic, organometallic, and bioorganic systems is provided. Electrochemical, bioelectrochemical and photoelectrochemical approaches are discussed in terms of their faradaic efficiencies, overpotentials and reaction mechanisms. Organometallic complexes as well as semiconductors and their homogeneous and heterogeneous catalytic activities are compared to enzymes. In both cases, their immobilization on electrodes is discussed and compared to homogeneous catalysts in solution.

متن کاملFe-Porphyrin-Based Metal−Organic Framework Films as High- Surface Concentration, Heterogeneous Catalysts for Electrochemical Reduction of CO2
Realization of heterogeneous electrochemical CO2-to-fuel conversion via molecular catalysis under high-flux conditions requires the assembly of large quantities of reactantaccessible catalysts on conductive surfaces. As a proof of principle, we demonstrate that electrophoretic deposition of thin films of an appropriately chosen metal−organic framework (MOF) material is an effective method for i...
