“…Encouraged by these merits, various Bi‐based materials have been investigated for CO 2 RR to formate [10] . The metal Bi, [11] Bi nanoparticles, [10b] Bi nanosphere [12] have been synthesized, but it's still very limit to catalyze CO 2 RR to HCOO − with low current density and selectivity. For instance, Li et al.…”

The reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2) into value‐added fuels using an electrochemical method has been regarded as a compelling sustainable energy conversion technology. However, high‐performance electrocatalysts for CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) with high formate selectivity and good stability need to be improved. Earth‐abundant Bi has been demonstrated to be active for CO2RR to formate. Herein, we fabricated an extremely active and selective bismuth nanosheet (Bi‐NSs) assembly via an in situ electrochemical transformation of (BiO)2CO3 nanostructures. The as‐prepared material exhibits high activity and selectivity for CO2RR to formate, with nearly 94% faradaic efficiency at −1.03 V (versus reversible hydrogen electrode (vs. RHE)) and stable selectivity (>90%) in a large potential window ranging from −0.83 to −1.18 V (vs. RHE) and excellent durability during 12 h continuous electrolysis. In addition, the Bi‐NSs based CO2RR/methanol oxidation reaction (CO2RR/MOR) electrolytic system for overall CO2 splitting was constructed, evidencing the feasibility of its practical implementation.

“…Formate is an economically more valuable chemical than CO. , In addition, formate is much more convenient for storage and transport than gaseous products. Recent progress in the electrocatalyst development based on Sn, − Pb, − Pd, − Bi, − and Co − has shown a vast improvement in formate production by CO 2 RR. Among all candidate elements, Sn is of particular interest due to being both cost-effective and nontoxic.…”

The electrocatalytic reduction of CO 2 to liquid fuels is a promising strategy to store the intermittent renewable energies into high-value chemicals. Here, two-dimensional SnO 2 nanosheet (∼3 nm in thickness) materials were synthesized using the hydrothermal method and characterized as efficient electrocatalysts for CO 2 reduction to formate. Compared to the monometallic Snbased catalysts, the SnO 2 nanosheet electrodes exhibit a much improved performance. A large current density of 471 mA cm −2 for formate production and a high Faradaic efficiency of 94.2% are simultaneously achieved using a three-compartment microfluidic flow cell electrolyzer. These results set a new record for formate production among monometallic Sn-based catalysts for the CO 2 electroreduction reaction. Density functional theory calculations reveal the intrinsic improvement in the performance by the SnO 2 surface site over the metallic Sn site.

“…Then, Ma et al 52 developed OD‐Ag‐NPs with a porous structure, which creates more active sites and generates a high local pH, showing a 20‐fold higher FE to that of untreated polycrystalline Ag at the identical conditions (80% vs 4%). Other oxide‐derived materials, like OD‐Sn, Pb, and Bi, were also attempted, giving good activities 66‐68 …”

Global warming caused by the rapid increase in atmospheric CO2 concentration is regarded as one of the most serious problems faced by human being. Electrochemical CO2 reduction (ECR) is one promising strategy that can fix CO2 in a mild and clean manner combined with sustainable energies. However, the ECR performance is highly dependent on the catalysis system because of the difficulty in CO2 activation, low mass transfer, poor product selectivity, and competitive hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). The binding strength of electrocatalysts toward carbon intermediates is the crucial factor for ECR performance. Furthermore, the reaction conditions and the configurations of devices are also of significance for ECR efficiencies. Here, we briefly reviewed the effects of electrocatalyst materials, as well as the reaction conditions, coupled anodic reactions, and devices on the ECR. Moreover, challenges and some perspectives for large‐scale applications are included.
