We study the carbon dioxide reduction reaction(CO_(2)RR)activity and selectivity of Fe single-atom catalyst(Fe-SAC)and Fe dual-atom catalyst(Fe-DAC)active sites at the interior of graphene and the edges of graphitic nanopore by using a combination of DFT calculations and microkinetic *** trend of limiting potentials for CO_(2)RR to produce CO can be described by using either the adsorption energy of COOH,CO,or their ***_(2)RR process with reasonable reaction rates can be achieved only on the active site configurations with weak tendencies toward CO *** efficiency of CO_(2)RR on a catalyst depends on its ability to suppress the parasitic hydrogen evolution reaction(HER),which is directly related to the behavior of H adsorption on the catalyst’s active *** find that the edges of the graphitic nanopore can act as potential adsorption sites for an H atom,and in some cases,the edge site can bind the H atom much stronger than the main Fe *** linear scaling between CO and H adsorptions is broken if this condition is *** condition also allows some edge active site configurations to have their CO_(2)RR limiting potential lower than the HER process favoring CO production over H2 production.

The enthalpy change involved in metal oxide reduction is a key quantity in various processes related to energy conversion and storage and is of particular interest for computational prediction. Often this prediction involves the simulation of a high-temperature reduction process with a 0-K methodology like density functional theory (DFT), and it is not infrequent for the high temperature and 0-K stable crystal structures to differ. This introduces a conundrum with regard to the choice of crystal structure to utilize in the computation, with approaches in the literature varying and experimental validation remaining scarce. In this work, we address both the crystal structure conundrum and the experimental validation, and then apply the insights we gain to guide a high-throughput search for new materials for solar thermochemical water-splitting applications. By computing the DFT+U oxygen-vacancy formation energy (ΔEvf) of a selection of ABO3 compounds and comparing different crystal structures for each composition, we highlight the issues that arise when the structure utilized in the computation is dynamically unstable at 0 K, namely the presence of an artificial lowering of ΔEvf, and the lack of convergence of ΔEvf with cell size. We solve these limitations by identifying and employing a suitable surrogate dynamically stable structure. We then validate the predictive power of our calculations against appositely generated experimental measurements of reduction enthalpy for a series of Hubbard U values, finding an accuracy ranging between 0.2–0.6 eV/O. In light of such conclusions, we revise and expand a previous a high-throughput DFT study on ABO3 perovskite oxides. We provide a list of candidate STCH materials, highlight trends with redox-active cation and structural distortion, and identify Mn4+, Mn3+, and Co3+ as the most promising redox-active cations.
