Electron‐Rich Bi Nanosheets Promote CO 2 ⋅ − Formation for High‐Performance and pH‐Universal Electrocatalytic CO 2 Reduction
Shandong University · State Key Laboratory of Crystal Materials
Abstract
Abstract Electrochemical CO 2 reduction reaction (CO 2 RR) to chemical fuels such as formate offers a promising pathway to carbon‐neutral future, but its practical application is largely inhibited by the lack of effective activation of CO 2 molecules and pH‐universal feasibility. Here, we report an electronic structure manipulation strategy to electron‐rich Bi nanosheets, where electrons transfer from Cu donor to Bi acceptor in bimetallic Cu−Bi, enabling CO 2 RR towards formate with concurrent high activity, selectivity and stability in pH‐universal (acidic, neutral and alkaline) electrolytes. Combined in situ Raman spectra and computational calculations unravel that electron‐rich Bi promotes CO 2 ⋅ −…
