Abstract

Facing soaring global energy demand and intensifying environmental problems, the search for sustainable energy alternatives has become imperative. The efficient conversion of carbon dioxide (CO₂), one of the primary greenhouse gases, plays the crucial role in mitigating global climate change. The electrocatalytic CO₂ reduction reaction (eCO₂RR) provides an effective solution for its conversion into high-value-added chemicals, promoting the development of the carbon cycle and green chemistry. Porous materials of distinctive physicochemical properties have demonstrated substantial potential in eCO₂RR. In this review, various strategies of porousizing catalysts for boosted eCO₂RR are briefly summarized. Subsequently, the functionalities of porous materials including enrichment effect, modulating microenvironmental pH, stabilizing key species, facilitating mass transfer and tuning the nature of active sites to improve the efficiency and selectivity of eCO₂RR are categorized. Furthermore, we discuss the principal challenges confronting current electrocatalytic systems and propose future research directions. Insights from this review are expected to benefit broad communities of chemical and material research for rationalizing porous electrocatalysts and optimizing eCO₂RR performances.
