Tandem catalytic CO2 electroreduction via in situ restructured silver nanoparticles on copper spheres
The rational design of tandem catalysts with spatially separated active sites is crucial for efficiently converting CO2 to ethylene. In this study, a Cu@Np-Agx. bimetallic tandem catalyst, with Ag nanoparticles anchored on Cu microspheres, was fabricated via potentiostatic deposition and electrochemical displacement. With 1.4 % surface Ag atom percentage, it exhibits a 36 % ethylene Faraday efficiency at −1.45 V vs. RHE, nine times higher than that of Cu/C, while reducing the hydrogen evolution reaction to 29 %. Based on DFT and in-situ Raman studies, this is mainly ascribed to the copper-silver synergy that optimizes the electron transfer route, enhances the adsorption of *CO, prompts the asymmetric *CO-CHO coupling and the cleavage of the O-C bond in the *OCHCH2 intermediate, thereby enhancing the generation of ethylene.
