Abstract
ABSTRACT Upgrading waste CO 2 has been a hot topic due to environmental problems. Bismuth with low cost was ideal for the electrochemical CO 2 reduction reaction (CO 2 RR) to HCOO − . Numerous methods have been proposed to boost the electrochemical CO 2 RR performance by reducing the thickness and facet of bismuth nanostructures. However, control of the catalytic activity of bismuth nanostructures via electronic structure and revealing of corresponding mechanisms remains challenging. Here, we reported that engineering the electronic structure of bismuth nanosheets via compressive strain boosts the catalytic performance though electrochemical method. An electrochemical cathodic method was conducted to produce…
