Advances in catalyst design are crucial for improving CO2RR. Researchers are focusing on several strategies:
1. Nanostructuring: Creating catalysts with nanoscale features to increase surface area and active sites. 2. Doping and Alloying: Introducing other elements into the catalyst to enhance activity and selectivity. 3. Support Materials: Using materials like carbon nanotubes or graphene to support catalysts and improve conductivity. 4. Computational Methods: Employing computational chemistry to model and predict catalyst behavior, guiding experimental efforts.
