Electronic structure modification of SnO2 to accelerate CO2 reduction towards formate† A systematic theoretical study probing the catalytic potential of metal-doped SnO2(110) was conducted. The incorporation of metals such as Zr, Ti, W, V, Hf, and Ge is shown to drive electron transfer to Sn. The increased charge of Sn is injected into anti-bonding orbitals, finely tuning the catalytic activity and reducing the overpotential to −0.34 V.
