Heterophase-structured bismuth nanosheets for solar energy-driven electrocatalytic reduction of CO2 to formate
JOURNAL OF MATERIALS CHEMISTRY A(2024)
摘要
Exploring efficient catalysts for the electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) to formate is highly imperative but challenging. Herein, a bismuth-nanosheet network with abundant crystalline-amorphous boundaries (c-a Bi-NSs) was newly prepared through facile in situ electrochemical reduction of a two-dimensional lamellar bismuth coordination polymer. In a typical H-type cell, the as-reconstructed c-a Bi-NSs electrocatalyst delivered a faradaic efficiency of >90% for formate over a broad potential window ranging from -0.8 to -1.4 V vs. a reversible hydrogen electrode as well as good operating durability. Meanwhile, in a flow cell, a high selectivity of formate generation with a maximum partial current density exceeding 325 mA cm(-2) was achieved, outperforming most reported Bi-based electrocatalysts. When coupling with a photovoltaic device, a full-cell based on the anodic formaldehyde oxidation reaction (FOR) and cathodic CO2RR using Cu foam and c-a Bi-NSs as electrocatalysts was fabricated, and it displayed remarkable dual electrocatalysis performance for formate production, indicating bright application prospects. This study demonstrates a guiding strategy for the design of highly efficient catalysts and advanced electrolytic systems.
