An elevated level of anthropogenic CO has been the major cause of global warming, and significant efforts are being made around the world towards the development of CO capture, storage and reuse technologies. Among various CO conversion technologies, electrochemical CO reduction (CO RR) by nanocrystals is one of the most promising strategies as it is facile, quick, and can be integrated with other renewable energy techniques. Judiciously designed catalytic nanomaterials promise to be the next generation of electrochemical electrodes that offer cutting-edge performance, low energy consumption and aid in reducing overall carbon footprint. In this minireview, we highlight the recent developments related to the bimetallic Cu-based nanocatalysts and discuss their structure-property relationships. We focus on the design principles and parameters required for the enhancement of CO conversion efficiency, selectivity, and stability.
人为排放的一氧化碳水平升高一直是全球变暖的主要原因，世界各地正在为开发一氧化碳捕获、储存和再利用技术做出重大努力。在各种一氧化碳转化技术中，纳米晶体电化学一氧化碳还原（CO RR）是最有前景的策略之一，因为它简便、快速，并且可以与其他可再生能源技术相结合。精心设计的催化纳米材料有望成为下一代电化学电极，具有前沿性能、低能耗并有助于减少整体碳足迹。在本综述中，我们重点介绍了双金属铜基纳米催化剂的最新进展，并讨论了它们的结构-性能关系。我们关注提高一氧化碳转化效率、选择性和稳定性所需的设计原则和参数。
