Abstract
Electroreduction of CO2 on single atom catalysts is often hindered by electron delocalization of the metal sites. To improve CO2 activation, here the authors functionalize the carbon support with cyano moieties, thereby attenuating metal-substrate conjugation and improving CO2 to CO conversion.
