Abstract
The catalytic activity of Vanadium, Scandium, Titanium and Ferrum (Sc, V, Ti and Fe) doped Carbon, Silicon, Germanium, Aluminum Nitride and Boron Phosphide (C60, Si46, Al30N30, Ge72 and B41P41) nanocages for reduction reaction of carbon dioxide are investigated. The ∆Ebinding of V2-C58, Sc2-Si44, V2-Al29N29, Ti2-Ge70 and Fe2-B40P40 nanocages are -5.90, -6.23, -6.13, -7.28 and -6.97 eV, respectively. The ∆Eformation of V2-C58, Sc2-Si44, V2-Al29N29, Ti2-Ge70 and Fe2-B40P40 nanocages are -4.54, -4.84, -4.76, -5.66 and -5.42 eV, respectively. The ∆Ebinding and ∆Eformation of double metal atoms doped nanocages are demonstrated that they are stable nano-structures. The rate-determining step for CH4 and CH3OH production is the catalyst-*CO → catalyst-*CHO on double metal atoms doped nanocages. The overpotential of CH3OH and CH4 production on Ti2-Ge70, Fe2-B40P40, V2-C58, V2-Al29N29 and Sc2-Si44 nanocages are 0.19 to 0.26 V and 0.18 to 0.24 V, respectively. The Sc2-Si44, V2-Al29N29, Ti2-Ge70 and Fe2-B40P40 can catalyze the CO2-RR with high efficiency. The double metal atoms doped nanocages (Ti2-Ge70, Fe2-B40P40, V2-C58, V2-Al29N29 and Sc2-Si44) can be considered as electro-catalysts for CH4 and CO3OH creation from CO2 reduction reaction.
