Abstract

The cover feature shows the controllable synthesis of nickel single atoms embedded in nitrogen-doped carbon nanotubes (NiSA−N-CNT) and graphene (NiSA−N-G). Addition of citric acid introduces amorphous carbon on the layered g-C3N4-Ni and, after annealing under the same conditions, NiSA−N-G was obtained instead of NiSA−N-CNT. NiSA−N-G with Ni atomic loading of ∼6 wt% catalysts shows better activity and stability for the CO2 reduction reaction than NiSA−N-CNT with Ni loading of ∼15 wt% due to the more open and exposed active sites in NiSA−N-G. The exposed active sites are most important for the electrocatalytic activity of single atom catalysts. More information can be found in the Full Paper by Chang Liu, Qianfan Zhang, San Ping Jiang et al.
