In a recent issue of Chem Catalysis, McCrory et al. present bimetallic CO₂ reduction reaction (CO₂RR) electrocatalysts. They demonstrate that a heterometallic molecular Co-Zn catalyst, with each metal nestled into a separate pyridyldiimine ligand pocket, operates faster and more efficiently than the Co-Co analogue, emphasizing the importance of electrostatics in multimetallic electrocatalysts.

利用分子内静电促进电催化二氧化碳还原

在最近一期的《化学催化》中，McCrory 等人。提出了双金属CO ₂ 还原反应（CO ₂ RR）电催化剂。他们证明，每种金属都位于单独的吡啶二亚胺配体口袋中的异金属分子 Co-Zn 催化剂比 Co-Co 类似物运行更快、更有效，这强调了静电在多金属电催化剂中的重要性。
