This research aims to explore the use of solid-solution surface alloy nanocubes for efficient CO2 reduction.
Developed shape-controlled Cu-based solid-solution surface alloy nanocubes with platinum-group metals.
Tested the catalysts for CO2 reduction pathway switching and stabilization.
Successfully created Cu/Cu1−xMx NCs (M = Pd, Pt, Ir, Ru) that enhanced the efficiency of CO2 reduction.
Demonstrated improved stability and performance of the Cu nanocube catalysts.
Abstract
We report novel shape-controlled Cu-based solid-solution surface alloy nanocubes (Cu/Cu 1− x M x NCs, M = Pd, Pt, Ir, Ru) for CO 2 reduction pathway switching and stabilization of Cu nanocube catalysts.
