摘要
Electrochemical carbon dioxide reduction (CO2RR) to chemicals and fuels is a promising way to alleviate global environmental problems and energy issues. Among the various catalysts, metal-nitrogen-carbon (M-N-C) single -atom catalysts (SACs) have intrigued great excitement in catalysis due to their low cost and high efficiency. However, precisely identifying the active site structure at an atomic level and disclosing the structure -performance relationship remains a grand challenge. In this review, the active structures of the M-N-C cata-lysts in CO2RR are first summarized, including isolated metal-Nx (x = 2, 3, 4, 5) sites, dual-metal centers, and the crucial role of substrates. Subsequently, the role of active structure in changing the adsorption properties of reactants toward CO2RR is discussed. In particular, the structure-performance relationship and constructive strategies to optimize the CO2RR pathway are highlighted. Finally, challenges and potential outlooks for the development of M-N-C SACs toward CO2RR are presented.
