“…Previously, it was reported that the products of CO 2 RR on Cu-based catalysts were relatively complex and could be affected by the surface wettability, local pH, microstructure, exposed facets, and doping, as well as the applied potentials. ,,,− For comparison, the EC performance of the bare carbon paper electrode was evaluated, and the FE of H 2 was as high as 80% at all tested potentials (Figure S16). We also tested it on the metallic Cu (Figure S17) and Zn (Figure S18) electrodes, and a large FE of H 2 (>40%) was obtained at all potentials in accordance with the previously reported results. , It was much larger than the FE(H 2 ) with the as-prepared CuZn catalysts (Figure S19). Note that the CO, C 2 H 4 , HCOO – , CH 4 , C 2 H 5 OH, and CH 3 COO – were detected for all Cu 10– x Zn x aerogels (Figure S19), consistent with the previous reports. ,,,, However, the FE of CH 4 , HCOO – , C 2 H 5 OH, and CH 3 COO – was kept nearly unchanged with the variation of Cu/Zn ratio, suggesting that chemical composition tuning had little effect on the generation of these products.…”
