Abstract
Abstract CO 2 electroreduction is of great significance to reduce CO 2 emissions and complete the carbon cycle. However, the unavoidable carbonate formation and low CO 2 utilization efficiency in neutral or alkaline electrolytes hinder its application at commercial scale. The development of CO 2 reduction under acidic conditions provides a promising strategy, but the inhibition of the hydrogen evolution reaction is difficult. Herein, the first work to design a Ni–Cu dual atom catalyst supported on hollow nitrogen‐doped carbon is reported for pH‐universal CO 2 electroreduction to CO. The catalyst shows a high CO Faradaic efficiency of ≈99% in acidic, neutral, and alkaline electrolytes, and the partial current…
