Figure Abstract

Caption

Researchers developed nitrogen-rich supports that electronically regulate a cobalt phthalocyanine catalyst, enabling selective electrochemical conversion of CO2 into methanol under neutral conditions. The best catalyst, CoPc/TiN, achieved a methanol Faradaic efficiency of 53.28% at −1.0 V. The study reveals that support-induced electronic tuning stabilizes key intermediates and promotes the methanol pathway.
