Abstract
The combination of CO2 fixation and small organic molecule oxidation offers a promising solution to increasing severe environmental issues and energy crises. Here, low-coordinated NiN3 sites were anchored onto nitrogen-doped ordered mesoporous carbon (Ni-SAs/NOMC), which is capable of efficiently catalyzing the coupled methanol oxidation reaction and CO2 reduction reaction (MOR||CO2RR), thereby reducing the energy required for CO2 conversion and enhancing the economic value of the CO2 electrolytic system. In the membrane electrode assembly electrolyzer-based MOR||CO2RR, Ni-SAs/NOMC achieved Faradaic efficiencies (FEs) of 95.4% for formate at the anode and 96.3% for CO at the cathode. Moreover, at a current…
