Breaking the linear scaling relations in MXene catalysts for efficient CO2 reduction

Electrocatalytic carbon dioxide reduction reaction (CO2RR) toward value-added fuels has attracted increasing attention in carbon-neutral and energy-production fields, but the catalytic efficiency is seriously hindered by the robust linear scaling relations between adsorption energies of intermediates. Herein, we have extensively investigated the effect of a series of group ⅣB, ⅤB, and ⅥB transition metal (TM) atoms substitution for middle Mo in...
