Abstract
The synergistic integration of electrochemical reactions with an external magnetic field offers a powerful strategy for enhancing reaction performance. Herein, we introduce a flexible and continuously adjustable external magnetic field to enhance acidic CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) performance. In an acidic electrolyte (pH = 0.91), the initial Faradaic efficiency (FE) of the CO2RR for CO is only 18%, which can be increased to 63.2% when a 2 T magnetic field is applied. More importantly, the introduction of this external magnetic field enables the continuous switching of CO2 reduction products in a noncontact magnetic switching mode. Theoretical calculations demonstrate that the application of a magnetic field promotes CO2 adsorption at Ni sites and inhibits the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), ultimately enhancing CO2RR activity and selectivity. This work provides fresh insight into how an external magnetic field promotes CO2RR performance.
