Abstract

Abstract : Carbon dioxide, the most widely distributed carbon source in Nature, has been widely investigated for its reduction and reuse. In this field, nanometallic materials have been widely studied because of their excellent photo/electrocatalytic activity. As one of the nanometallic materials, metal aerogel has the unique advantages of high‐electron transfer rate and large specific surface area, as well as rich pore space and strong adsorption performance, which makes it a highly researched material for catalytic CO2 reduction in recent years. Herein, we report for the first time, the latest preparation methods of metal aerogels and the recent progress in electrocatalytic CO2 reduction. After that, the properties of several typical metallic aerogels and their latest applications in electrocatalytic CO2 reduction are described. Finally, the vision and research directions for the future industrialization of metal aerogels for electrocatalytic CO2 reduction are proposed from the perspective of practical applications (DOI: 10.1002/chem.202201834 )
