碳修饰的铜催化剂实现安培级电流电化学还原CO2制C2+产物
Electrochemical CO2 Reduction to C2+Products with Ampere-Level Current on Carbon-Modified Copper Catalysts
摘要
Abstract
Copper-based electrocatalysts have great potential to produce high-value products in CO2 reduction reaction(CO2RR),offering a promising way to achieve negative carbon emissions.Additionally,achieving ampere-level currents is crucial for realizing the industrialization of multi-carbon(C2+)products.However,the C2+selectivity at industrial current densities remains unsatisfactory due to complex electron transport processes and inevitable side reactions.Herein,we developed a carbon-modification strategy aimed at optimizing the local environment and regulating the adsorption of intermediates at Cu active sites.Our findings demonstrated the effectiveness of Cu-Cx catalysts(where'x'denoted the atomic percentage of C in the catalysts)in facilitating CO2RR for producing C2+products.Especially,over Cu-C6%,the current density could reach to 1.25 A∙cm-2 at-0.72 V vs.RHE(versus reversible hydrogen electrode)in a flow cell,and the Faradaic efficiency(FE)of C2H4 and C2+products could reach to 54.4%and 80.2%,respectively.In situ spectral analysis and density functional theory(DFT)calculations showed that the presence of C regulated the adsorption of *CO on Cu surface,reduced the energy barrier of C―C coupling,thus promoting the production of C2+products.关键词
