Abstract
Formic acid (HCOOH) is a highly energy efficient product of the electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR). Bismuth-based catalysts have shown promise in the conversion of CO2 to formic acid, but there is still a great need for further improvement in selectivity and activity. Herein, we report the preparation of Bi nanosheets decorated by cerium oxide nanoparticles (CeOx) with high Ce3+/Ce4+ ratio and rich oxygen vacancies. The CeOx nanoparticles affect the electronic structures of bismuth, enhance CO2 adsorption, and thus promote the CO2RR properties of Bi nanosheets. Compared with elemental Bi nanosheets, the hetero-structured CeOx/Bi nanosheets exhibit much higher activity over a wide potential window, showing a current density of 16.1 mA cm−2 with a Faradaic efficiency of 91.1% at −0.9 V vs. reversible hydrogen electrode.
甲酸(HCOOH)是电化学二氧化碳还原反应(CO2RR)的高能效产物。铋基催化剂在将 CO2 转化为甲酸的过程中显示出良好的前景,但仍亟需进一步提高其选择性和活性。在此,我们报告了由具有高 Ce3+/Ce4+ 比值和丰富氧空位的氧化铈纳米颗粒(CeOx)装饰的 Bi 纳米片的制备方法。CeOx 纳米粒子影响了铋的电子结构,增强了对 CO2 的吸附,从而促进了 Bi 纳米片的 CO2RR 特性。与元素铋纳米片相比,异质结构的 CeOx/Bi 纳米片在较宽的电位窗口内表现出更高的活性,与可逆氢电极相比,在 -0.9 V 电压下,电流密度为 16.1 mA cm-2,法拉第效率为 91.1%。
