Molecular engineering to introduce carbonyl between nickel salophen active sites to enhance electrochemical CO2 reduction to methanol
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The electrochemical reduction of CO 2 to methanol is a potentially cost-effective strategy to reduce the concentration of this greenhouse gas while at the same time producing a value-added chemical. Herein, we detail a highly efficient 2D nickel organic framework containing a large density of highly dispersed salophen NiN 2 O 2 active sites toward electrochemical CO 2 RR to methanol. By tuning the ligand environment of the salophen NiN 2 O 2 , the electrocatalytic activity of the material toward CO 2 reduction can be significantly improved. We prove that by introducing a carbonyl group at the ligand environment of the Ni active sites, the electrochemical CO 2 reduction activity is highly promoted and its product selectivity reaches a Faradaic efficiency of 27% toward the production of methanol at − 0.9 V vs RHE. The salophen-based π-d conjugated metal-organic framework presented here thus provides the best performance toward CO 2 reduction to methanol among the previously developed nickel-based electrocatalysts. A 2D nickel organic framework containing a large density of highly dispersed salophen NiN2O2 active sites has been synthesized. By introducing a carbonyl group at the ligand environment of the Ni active sites, the electrochemical CO2 reduction activity is highly promoted and its product selectivity reaches a high Faradaic efficiency of 27% toward the production of methanol at − 0.9 V vs RHE. • We report a novel atomically dispersed nickel catalyst with NiN 2 O 2 structure for efficient production of methanol. • The obtained catalyst gives the highest FEs with 27% (methanol) among Nickel electrocatalysts for CO 2 RR. • We report a new strategy for tuning the electronic structure of catalysts.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
