Enhanced Catalytic Activity of Cobalt Porphyrin in CO2 Electroreduction Upon Immobilization on Carbon Materials
Xin-Ming Hu, Magnus H. Rønne, Steen U. Pedersen, Troels Skrydstrup and Kim Daasbjerg doi.org/10.1002/anie.201701104 In a comparative study of the electrocatalytic CO2 reduction, cobalt meso-tetraphenylporphyrin (CoTPP) is used as a model molecular catalyst under both homogeneous and heterogeneous conditions. In the former case, employing N,N-dimethylformamide as solvent, CoTPP performs poorly as an electrocatalyst giving low…
