Abstract

Abstract Atomically dispersed transition metals anchored on nitrogen‐doped carbon have emerged as highly promising electrocatalysts for the electrochemical CO 2 reduction to CO. However, their industrial‐scale application in membrane electrode assemblies (MEAs) is limited by inadequate Faraday efficiency (FE) and long‐term stability. Herein, we propose a rational mesoporous engineering approach for Ni‐NC catalysts via a two‐step space‐confinement pyrolysis strategy. Through cryo CO‐pulse chemisorption, real‐time observations of CO 2 gas bubble diffusion, and finite element simulations, we demonstrate that the mesoporous structured Ni‐NC (meso‐Ni‐NC) exhibits significantly enhanced active site accessibility and…
