Self-healing Cu single-atom catalyst for high-performance electrocatalytic CO2 methanation

Abstract To address the escalating challenge of atmospheric CO2 emissions, this study proposes a self-healing Cu single atom (SA) catalyst design. By partially cleaving Cu-N bonds via hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), coordinatively unsaturated Cu sites form and spontaneously bond with adjacent ZrO...
