Molecular complexes such as metalloporphyrins and metallophthalocyanines are efficient CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) catalysts because of their electronic structures and the tunable ligand environments surrounding the active sites . However, these molecules along with most other molecular catalysts primarily reduce CO2 to CO; catalysts that selectively reduce CO2 beyond CO are scarcely reported . An early study of cobalt phthalocyanine (CoPc) in 1984 showed a methanol (MeOH) Faradaic efficiency (FE) of <5%. This work did not receive much attention until recently when the Wang and Robert 10 groups separately reported improved FEMeOH with CoPc deposited on multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). In the paper from the Robert group, it was emphasized that only small amount of methanol could be obtained from CO2RR, while larger amount could be generated from CO reduction reaction (CORR). In stark contrast, the Wang group claimed that a FEMeOH as high as 44% could be obtained with CoPc deposited on MWCNT. However, most studies have been unable to obtain the improved FEMeOH observed by the Wang group, instead finding CO to be the prevailing product even with monodispersed CoPc . Numerous discrepancies in reaction selectivity and kinetics amongst CoPc studies make it difficult to determine the ability of CoPc to catalyze CO2RR beyond the prominent CO product.
