Catalysis

30.5K
The presence of a catalyst affects the rate of a chemical reaction. A catalyst is a substance that can increase the reaction rate without being consumed during the process. A basic comprehension of a catalysts’ role during chemical reactions can be understood from the concept of reaction mechanisms and energy diagrams.

Gene Conversion

10.6K
Other than maintaining genome stability via DNA repair, homologous recombination plays an important role in diversifying the genome. In fact, the recombination of sequences forms the molecular basis of genomic evolution. Random and non-random permutations of genomic sequences create a library of new amalgamated sequences. These newly formed genomes can determine the fitness and survival of cells. In bacteria, homologous and non-homologous types of recombination lead to the evolution of new...

Production Efficiency

Net production efficiency (NPE) is the efficiency at which organisms assimilate energy into biomass for the next trophic level. Due to low metabolic rates and less energy spent on thermoregulatory processes, the NPE of ectotherms (cold-blooded animals) is 10 times higher than endotherms (warm-blooded animals).

Atomic Mass

70.2K
Atoms — and the protons, neutrons, and electrons that compose them — are extremely small. For example, a carbon atom weighs less than 2 × 10−23 g. When describing the properties of tiny objects such as atoms, we use appropriately small units of measure, such as the atomic mass unit (amu). The amu was originally defined based on hydrogen, the lightest element, then later in terms of oxygen. Since 1961, it has been defined with regard to the most abundant isotope of carbon, atoms of which...

Area of Science:

  • Catalysis
  • Materials Science
  • Chemical Engineering

Background:

  • Single-atom catalysts (SACs) offer unique advantages for CO2 conversion due to atomically dispersed active metal centers.
  • The choice of support material is critical for the stability, activity, and selectivity of SACs in various catalytic reactions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review recent advancements in the development of SACs for CO2 conversion through thermal and electrocatalysis.
  • To discuss strategies for support design in SACs, focusing on lattice-matched oxides, heteroatom-doped carbons, and mimetic ligand chelations.

Main Methods:

  • Development of Ir1/TiO2 SAC for high-temperature thermal CO2 reduction to CO, utilizing a lattice-matched rutile TiO2 support.
  • Fabrication of sulfur co-doped N-graphene supported Ni single atoms for electrochemical CO2 reduction.
  • Design of porous organic polymers (POPs) with aminopyridine groups to mimic homogeneous ligands for Ir single-atom catalysts in CO2 hydrogenation.

Main Results:

  • Ir1/TiO2 demonstrated high activity and selectivity for CO2 to CO conversion at high temperatures, preventing over-reduction.
  • Ni single atoms on sulfur co-doped N-graphene exhibited enhanced CO2 electroreduction activity due to stabilized active sites and modulated electronic configuration.
  • The quasi-homogeneous Ir1/POP catalyst efficiently converted CO2 to formate under mild liquid-phase conditions.

Conclusions:

  • SACs, with their unique coordination environment, significantly facilitate CO2 activation and conversion.
  • Strategic support design is crucial for optimizing SAC performance in diverse reaction conditions, leading to high selectivity for CO or formate.
  • SACs represent a powerful approach to enhance CO2 utilization across various chemical transformations.
