Sn based materials, as low-cost and earth-abundant electrocatalysts, are potential candidates for CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) into liquid fuels. Unfortunately, the low selectivity and stability limits their applications. Herein, we developed an electrocatalyst of Sn quantum dots (Sn-QDs) for efficient, durable and highly selective CO2 reduction to HCOOH. The Sn-QDs were confirmed with high crystallinity and an average size of only 2-3 nm. The small particle size endowed the electrocatalyst with improved electrochemical active surface area (ECSA), which was about 4.4 times of that of Sn particle. The enlarged ECSA as well as accelerated CO2RR kinetics favored the electrochemical conversion of CO2. The Faradaic efficiency of HCOOH (FEHCOOH) on Sn-QDs/CN reached up to 95% at -1.0 V (vs RHE), which exceeded 83% in the recorded wide potential window of 0.5 V. Moreover, the Sn-QDs electrocatalyst exhibited good electrochemical durability for 24 h.

“…The cell configuration depends on the selected reactor type that is efficiently used in producing formate or formic acid. According to the literature, [95,96] the majority of the studies focused on applying 3 electrodes and H‐type cell, while others applied GDE [14,97] to improve the FE of formate production. Only a limited number of studies focused on using the filter press cell for a continuous reaction [98,99] .…”

Electroreduction of Carbon Dioxide into Formate: A Comprehensive Review

et al. 2021

Carbon dioxide conversion into useful products has been gaining considerable attention as a global‐warming‐mitigation technique. The electrochemical conversion of CO2 into high‐value chemicals involves the utilization of electrical energy in the presence of an effective catalyst. The process products depend on the number of transferred electrons during the reaction and the characteristics of the electrode. Recently, electrodes coupled with active catalysts have been used to convert CO2 into valuable products including formic acid, hydrocarbons, and syngas. This review offers an overview of the recent literature on the electrochemical conversion of CO2 to valuable products, with an emphasis on the production of formate/formic acid. In addition, it compares the main features of electrochemical conversion to other techniques and summarizes their key advantages. It also provides future perspective for research and development, such as the need for novel and selective catalysts to obtain high conversion and product yield with low energy consumption.

“…In this context, different metallic electrocatalysts have been studied for CO 2 RR, ranging from Cu (it seems to be the unique metal selective for hydrocarbons and alcohols formation) [32,33] to Au, Ag, Zn (mainly producing CO) [34][35][36] and Pb, In, Sn, Bi (formate/formic acid generation). [13,[37][38][39] Nonetheless, there are still many challenges to be addressed to reduce the overpotential and control the selectivity of CO 2 RR on metallic electrocatalysts [40]. The main key parameters that need to be studied to improve both activity and selectivity are, among others, operating conditions (applied voltage, current density, catalyst loading, etc.)…”

The electrochemical CO 2 reduction reaction (CO 2 RR) either to generate multi-carbon (C 2+) or single carbon (C 1) value-added products provides an effective and promising approach to mitigate the high CO 2 concentration in the atmosphere and promote energy storage. However, cost-effectiveness of catalytic materials limits practical application of this technology in the short term. Herein, we summarize and discuss recent and advanced works on cost-effective oxide-derived copper (OD-Cu) catalysts for the generation of C 2+ products (hydrocarbons and alcohols) and transition metal-nitrogen-doped carbon (M-N-C) electrocatalytic materials for C 1 compounds production from CO 2 RR. We think they represent suitable electrocatalyst candidates for scaling up electrochemical CO 2 conversion. This short review may provide inspiration for the future design and development of innovative active, cost-effective, selective and stable electrocatalysts with improved properties for either the production of C 2+ (alcohols, hydrocarbons) or carbon monoxide from CO 2 RR.
