Efficient CO2 conversion enabled by well-dispersed Co nanoparticles on N-doped hollow-structured carbon supports

Abstract

An exceptional catalyst featuring uniformly dispersed cobalt nanoparticles on a hollow structure was fabricated. Both experimental and theoretical results demonstrate that the N-doped support modulates the electron density of the active sites. At the same time, the hollow architecture facilitates substrate enrichment, collectively enhancing CO₂ fixation and leading to superb catalytic activity and excellent cycling stability.
