Encapsulated Co–Ni alloy boosts high-temperature CO2 electroreduction - Nature

An optimized Co–Ni alloy catalyst encapsulated with Sm2O3-doped CeO2 shows both high activity and stability for high-temperature CO2-to-CO conversion, overcoming the limitations of such catalysts typically used in industrial applications.
