Abstract

Abstract : The high-curvature carbon-induced charge polarization of NiN4 sites is demonstrated to exhibit ideal electrochemical CO2 to CO performance. Abstract : High curvature carbon-supported isolated NiN4 sites with ideal CO2 reduction reaction performance were obtained through a top-down strategy. The charge polarization induced by the axial asymmetry of the carbon substrate can enhance the adsorption of COOH* and reduce the free energy barrier of the rate-determining step.
