A Core-Shell-Structured Silver Nanowire/Nitrogen-Doped Carbon Catalyst for Enhanced and Multifunctional Electrofixation of CO.

Numerous catalysts have been successfully introduced for CO fixation in aqueous or organic systems. However, a single catalyst showing activity in both solvent types is still rare, to the best of our knowledge. We developed a core-shell-structured AgNW/NC700 composite using a Ag nanowire (NW) core encapsulated by a N-doped carbon (NC) shell at 700 °C.

Platinum/nitrogen-doped carbon/carbon cloth: a bifunctional catalyst for the electrochemical reduction and carboxylation of CO with excellent efficiency.

A novel Pt-NP@NCNF@CC composite was prepared by the electrospinning technique. It is a highly efficient and binder-free catalyst for the direct reduction and carboxylation of CO2 with halides. Formate with 91% Faradaic efficiency and 2-phenylpropionic acid with 99% yield could be obtained, respectively.

Entrapment of a chiral cobalt complex within silver: a novel heterogeneous catalyst for asymmetric carboxylation of benzyl bromides with CO2.

A novel way to accommodate heterogeneous catalysis, CO2 fixation and asymmetric synthesis on one catalyst is reported. The [Co]@Ag composite was prepared for the first time and used for asymmetric carboxylation of benzyl bromides with CO2. All the procedures were performed under mild conditions.
