摘要
将 CO2 电还原为 C2H4 是一种很有前景的碳中和策略。然而,*CO 二聚化的动力学难题,尤其是在高电流密度下,限制了其在工业生产中的适用性。在此,我们报告了具有强界面效应的铜/银双金属催化剂(Cu52Ag48)可在高电流密度下促进高 C2H4 选择性。我们发现,精心设计的 Cu/Ag 界面不仅能通过削弱 H 的吸附来抑制 HER 和乙醇的形成,还能促进 *CHO 中间体的形成,实现不寻常的不对称 *CO-*CHO 偶联,而不是常见的对称 *CO-*CO 偶联。随后,在 450 mA cm-2 的高电流密度下,C2H4 在 Cu52Ag48 上的法拉第效率显著提高到 69.2%。界面效应诱导的 *CO-*CHO 偶联可扩展到其他具有弱 H 和 O 吸附性的金属,如 Cu/Zn 和 Cu/Au,从而促进 CO2RR 中 C2H4 的产生。
Enhanced interfacial effect-induced asymmetric coupling boost electroreduction of CO2 to ethylene
Electroreduction of CO2 to C2H4 is a promising strategy for carbon neutralization. However, the kinetic challenge of *CO dimerization, particularly at high current-density, limits its suitability for industrial production. Here, we report that Cu/Ag bimetallic catalyst (Cu52Ag48) with strong interfacial effect can promote high C2H4 selectivity at high current-density. We find that the elaborately designed Cu/Ag interface not only inhibits HER and ethanol formation by weakening H adsorption, but also promotes the formation of *CHO intermediates, achieving an unusual asymmetric *CO-*CHO coupling instead of the common symmertic *CO-*CO coupling. Subsequently, the Faradaic efficiency of C2H4 over Cu52Ag48 is significantly increased to 69.2% at a high current-density of up to 450 mA cm−2. The interfacial effect-induced *CO-*CHO coupling can be extended to other metals with weak H and O adsorption such as Cu/Zn and Cu/Au, thereby boosting the production of C2H4 in CO2RR.
