Abstract

The oxidation states of metal-based electrocatalysts have been proved to be beneficial to improve the product selectivity for electrochemical CO2 reduction (ECO2R), while it usually suffers from decay due to the reductive environment leading to performance deterioration. Herein, we construct robust Sn/SnO2 Mott–Schottky heterojunction on biomass (sodium alginate)-derived carbon by a facile heat treatment method, which demonstrates high selectivity and robustness for formate production by ECO2R. The wide partial current density of formate from 4.4 to 220.8 mA cm–2 with excellent formate selectivity (Faradaic efficiency (FE) > 90%) can be achieved on Sn/SnO2 heterojunction electrocatalyst in a gas diffusion flow cell, which is one of the widest among Sn-based electrocatalysts. Moreover, the Sn/SnO2 heterojunction electrocatalyst achieves a remarkably high total energy efficiency of 68.1% for formate production in a gas diffusion full cell. In situ Raman spectra and density functional theory simulations illustrate that the electrons transfer from SnO2 to Sn, which facilitates the formation of *OCHO intermediate meanwhile impeding the competitive hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), leading to the high selectivity and robustness for ECO2R.

稳定生物质碳上的Sn/SnO2 Mott-Schottky异质结促进电化学CO2还原的高选择性和稳健甲酸生产
金属基电催化剂的氧化态已被证明有利于提高电化学CO2还原(ECO2R)的产物选择性,但由于还原环境的原因,金属基电催化剂通常会发生衰变,导致性能下降。在此,我们通过简单的热处理方法在生物质(海藻酸钠)衍生的碳上构建了稳健的Sn/SnO2 Mott-Schottky异质结,该异质结对ECO2R生成甲酸具有高选择性和稳健性。甲酸盐的宽偏电流密度为4.4 ~ 220.8 mA cm-2,具有优异的甲酸选择性(法拉第效率);在气体扩散流动池中,Sn/SnO2异质结电催化剂可以达到90%),这是锡基电催化剂中最广泛的。此外,Sn/SnO2异质结电催化剂在气体扩散全电池中产生甲酸的总能量效率达到了68.1%。原位拉曼光谱和密度泛函理论模拟表明,电子从SnO2转移到Sn,促进了*OCHO中间体的形成,同时阻碍了竞争性析氢反应(HER),导致ECO2R具有高选择性和鲁稳性。
