The trend of limiting potentials for CO<sub>2</sub>RR to produce CO can be described by using either the adsorption energy of COOH, CO, or their combination. CO<sub>2</sub>RR process with reasonable reaction rates can be achieved only on the active site configurations with weak tendencies toward CO poisoning. The efficiency of CO<sub>2</sub>RR on a catalyst depends on its ability to suppress the parasitic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), which is directly related to the behavior of H adsorption on the catalyst’s active site. We find that the edges of the graphitic nanopore can act as potential adsorption sites for an H atom, and in some cases, the edge site can bind the H atom much stronger than the main Fe site. The linear scaling between CO and H adsorptions is broken if this condition is met. This condition also allows some edge active site configurations to have their CO<sub>2</sub>RR limiting potential lower than the HER process favoring CO production over H<sub>2</sub> production.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":52958,"journal":{"name":"Carbon Resources Conversion","volume":"7 1","pages":"Article 100185"},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2588913323000406/pdfft?md5=7171ae94111023454fd4eb90abe637a1&pid=1-s2.0-S2588913323000406-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49247946","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The (non-)Kolbe reaction, one of the oldest organic electrochemical reactions, is the decarboxylation of carboxylic acids to produce alkanes, alcohols, esters, etc. And electrode materials influence the production of electrocatalytic decarboxylation products from carboxylic acids. Therefore, this work mainly reviews the recent advances in applications of anodic materials for (non-)Kolbe electrocatalytic decarboxylation of carboxylic acids. It discusses the reaction mechanism of (non-) Kolbe electrolytic reaction, and the electrocatalytic oxidation of carboxylic acid using different electrodes and electrolytic systems to synthesize fuels and chemicals. Also, various types of electrode catalysts, such as Pt-based catalysts, C-based catalysts, and other catalysts, are introduced in detail. Finally, the challenges and future trends of the (non-)Kolbe reaction of carboxylic acids are presented. This review found that platinum-based electrocatalysts proved to be the most promising catalysts at present. And in recent years, a variety of synthesis methods have been developed to synthesize small size and high-performance noble metal based amorphous catalysts. Another approach is to study catalysts without platinum electricity, such as Ru, Ir, Ti and carbon materials.
