The Impact of Nickel Content on Structure and Electrochemical CO2 Reduction Performance of Nickel-Nitrogen-Carbon Catalysts Driven By Zeolitic Imidazolate Frameworks As a Platform

The electrochemical conversion of CO2 to chemicals and fuels is a promising strategy to overcome the increase of CO2 concentration in the atmosphere driven by the extensive dependence on fossil fuels as a main global energy source. A significant shortcoming of this technology is the ability to design new active and selective catalysts for CO2reduction (CO2R) reaction. Atomically dispersed metal-nitrogen doped carbon (M-N-C) materials has …
