摘要
Production of multicarbon products (C2+) from CO2 electroreduction reaction (CO2RR) is highly desirable for storing renewable energy and reducing carbon emission. The electrochemical synthesis of CO2RR catalysts that are highly selective for C2+ products via electrolyte-driven nanostructuring is presented. Nanostructured Cu catalysts synthesized in the presence of specific anions selectively convert CO2 into ethylene and multicarbon alcohols in aqueous 0.1m KHCO3 solution, with the iodine-modified catalyst displaying the highest Faradaic efficiency of 80% and a partial geometric current density of ca. 31.2 mA cm(-2) for C2+ products at -0.9V vs. RHE. Operando X-ray absorption spectroscopy and quasi insitu X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy measurements revealed that the high C2+ selectivity of these nanostructured Cu catalysts can be attributed to the highly roughened surface morphology induced by the synthesis, presence of subsurface oxygen and Cu+ species, and the adsorbed halides.
