“…[1,2] Electrocatalytic CO 2 reduction has been considered as ap romising and clean approach to decrease the atmospheric concentration of CO 2 greenhouse gas through the conversion of CO 2 into valuable carbonaceous products. [3][4][5][6] Fori ndustrial application of electrocatalytic CO 2 reduction, both high current density and high Faradaic efficiency are essential. However, the Faradaic efficiencies usually drop rapidly along with the increase of overpotentials for achieving high current densities,d ue to the competing reaction of hydrogen reduction.…”

The reaction of precursors containing both nitrogen and oxygen atoms with Ni II under 500 8 8Cc an generate aN /O mixing coordinated Ni-N 3 Os ingle-atom catalyst (SAC) in which the oxygen atom can be gradually removed under high temperature due to the weaker NiÀOi nteraction, resulting in avacancy-defect Ni-N 3 -V SACatNisite under 800 8 8C. Forthe reaction of Ni II with the precursor simply containing nitrogen atoms,o nly an o-vacancy-defect Ni-N 4 SACw as obtained. Experimental and DFT calculations reveal that the presence of av acancy-defect in Ni-N 3 -V SACc an dramatically boost the electrocatalytic activity for CO 2 reduction, with extremely high CO 2 reduction current density of 65 mA cm À2 and high Faradaic efficiency over 90 %a tÀ0.9 Vv s. RHE, as well as arecordhigh turnover frequency of 1.35 10 5 h À1 ,muchhigher than those of Ni-N 4 SAC, and being one of the best reported electrocatalysts for CO 2 -to-CO conversion to date.

“…Moreover, the adsorption energy of OCHO* is more negative than that of COOH* for SnS/Aminated‐C. And, more remarkable, the adsorption energies of adsorbed HCOOH* and OCHO* break the conventional scaling relations of intermediates . These results indicate that OCHO* and CO 2 * bind more strongly on the surface of SnS/Aminated‐C than on the SnS surface, which will increase the directionality of the electrocatalytic reaction toward formate formation.…”

Engineering electronic structure to enhance the binding energies of reaction intermediates in order to achieve a high partial current density can lead to increased yield of target products. Herein, amino‐functionalized carbon is used to regulate the electronic structure of tin‐based catalysts to enhance activity of CO2 electroreduction. The hollow nanotubes composed of SnS (stannous sulfide) nanosheets are modified with amino‐functionalized carbon layers, achieving a highest formate Faraday efficiency of 92.6% and a remarkable formate partial current density of 41.1 mA cm−2 (a total current density of 52.1 mA cm−2) at a moderate overpotential of 0.9 V versus reversible hydrogen electrode, as well as a good stability. Density functional theory calculations demonstrate that the superior activity is attributed to the synergistic effect among SnS and Aminated‐C in increasing the adsorption energies of the key intermediates and accelerating the charge transfer rate.

“…To struggle against the greenhouse effect, research efforts have been extensively made to develop technologies for capturing CO 2 and sequestering or utilizing it. Several routes have been explored to transform CO 2 into other carbon compounds so far, including chemical reforming, photochemical, biological, and electrochemical methods. Among them, electrocatalytic reduction has emerged as an attractive way to resolve environmental and energy issues .…”

Highly Selective Electrochemical Reduction of CO₂ to Alcohols on an FeP Nanoarray

Electrochemical reduction of CO2 into various chemicals and fuels provides an attractive pathway for environmental and energy sustainability. It is now shown that a FeP nanoarray on Ti mesh (FeP NA/TM) acts as an efficient 3D catalyst electrode for the CO2 reduction reaction to convert CO2 into alcohols with high selectivity. In 0.5 m KHCO3, such FeP NA/TM is capable of achieving a high Faradaic efficiency (FECH3OH ) up to 80.2 %, with a total FECH3OH+normalC2normalH5OH of 94.3 % at −0.20 V vs. reversible hydrogen electrode. Density functional theory calculations reveal that the FeP(211) surface significantly promotes the adsorption and reduction of CO2 toward CH3OH owing to the synergistic effect of two adjacent Fe atoms, and the potential‐determining step is the hydrogenation process of *CO.
