Fe single-atom catalysts supported on N-enriched carbon promote the liquid phase electro-reduction of carbon dioxide to formic acid

Abstract

This work describes how the presence of Fe single atom catalysts (Fe-SAC) dispersed on a nitrogen-enriched carbon matrix favours the selective electrocatalytic reduction of dissolved carbon dioxide to formic acid in neutral medium. Fe-SAC and Fe-free carbons were prepared by laser pyrolysis of phthalocyanine-pyridine aerosols.
