A synergic investigation of experimental and computational dual atom electrocatalysis for CO2 conversion to C1 and C2+ products

This review delves into the promising field of dual atom catalysts (DACs) for the electrochemical reduction of CO2 to yield a diverse array of C-n (n = 1, 2, and 3) products. Through a comprehensive examination of recent advancements, mechanistic insights, and experimental findings, the review highlights the pivotal role of DACs in promoting selective and efficient eCO(2)RR. DACs, characterized by the synergistic interaction between two metal (homo/hetero) atoms, offer promising opportunities to address environmental challenges associated with CO2 emissions while simultaneously enabling the sustainable production of clean energy. The eCO(2)RR facilitates the formation of C1 to C2+ products including CO. CO is a key intermediate involved in C-C coupling reactions to form C2+ products.
