Coupling Enteromorpha prolifera-derived N-doped biochar with Cu-Mo2C clusters for selective CO2 hydrogenation to CO by Xueyuan Pan, Caikang Wang, Bei Li, Mingzhe Ma, Hao Sun, Guowu Zhan, Kui Wang, Mengmeng Fan, Linfei Ding, Gengtao Fu, Kang Sun, Jianchun Jiang

“…As a result, the synergistic effect between pyridinic N anchoring and the clusters interaction in Cu-Mo2C/EPBC facilitates an improved CO selectivity of 99.95% at 500 ​°C compared with traditional Cu-Mo2C/AC (99.60%), as well as about 3-fold CO2 conversion rate. Density functional theory calculations confirm that pyridine N-modified carbon activates the local electronic redistribution at Cu-Mo2C clusters, which contributes to the decreased energy barrier of the transition state of CO∗+O∗+2H∗, thereby triggering the transformation of rate-limited step during the redox pathway. …”
