The first step in converting CO2 into valuable products is to break the C-O bond. This work focuses on designing Single Atom Catalysts (SACs) by doping Cu(211) surface with 13 different s, p, and d block elements with an aim to minimize the activation barrier for C-O bond cleavage. Our work demonstrates that SACs of Mg/Al/Pt@Cu(211) favor CO2 chemisorption compared to Cu(211) where CO2 physisorbs. The barrier for CO2 dissociation is lowest for Mg@Cu(211) and it increases in the order Mg@Cu(211) &amp;lt; Al@Cu(211) &amp;lt; Pt@Cu(211) &amp;lt; Zn@Cu(211) &amp;lt; Ga@Cu(211) &amp;lt; Cu@Cu(211) &amp;lt; Pd@Cu(211). These findings suggest that doping Cu(211) with earth-abundant metal like Mg can potentially be a viable catalyst for CO2 conversion, providing a promising solution to reduce carbon footprint and mitigate climate change.&lt;/p&gt;
