Bridging Thermal Catalysis and Electrocatalysis: Catalyzing CO2 Conversion with Carbon‐Based Materials

Understanding the differences between reactions driven by elevated temperature or electric potential remains challenging, largely due to materials incompatibilities between thermal catalytic and electrocatalytic environments. We show that Ni, N-doped carbon (NiPACN), an electrocatalyst for the reduction of CO₂ to CO (CO₂ R), can also selectively catalyze thermal CO₂ to CO via the reverse water gas shift (RWGS) representing a direct analogy …
