A Cu-N-doped carbon nanotube with an unsaturated coordination Cu atom showed high CO faradaic efficiency in a wide potential range. The theoretical calculations found that the Cu-N-3 site facilitated the formation of COOH*, accelerating the CO2 electrochemical reduction.
A Cu-N-doped carbon nanotube with an unsaturated coordination Cu atom (Cu-N-3) was fabricated and it exhibited over 90% CO faradaic efficiency (FE) in a wide potential range from -0.42 to -0.92 V. The maximum CO FE can reach 98.7% with a high CO partial current density of 234.3 mA cm(-2) in a flow cell. Theoretical calculations elucidated that the Cu-N-3 site facilitated the formation of COOH*, thereby accelerating the CO2 electrochemical reduction.
