Exsolved materials for CO_(2)reduction in high-temperature electrolysis cells

Electrochemical reduction of CO_(2)into valuable fuels and chemicals has become a contemporary research area,where the heterogeneous catalyst plays a critical role.Metal nanoparticles supported on oxides performing as active sites of electrochemical reactions have been the focus of intensive investigation.Here,we review the CO_(2)reduction with active materials prepared by exsolution.The fundamental of exsolution was summarized in terms of mechanism and models,materials,and driven forces.The advances in the exsolved materials used in hightemperature CO_(2)electrolysis were catalogued into tailored interfaces,synergistic effects on alloy particles,phase transition,reversibility and electrochemical switching.
