Carbon dioxide reduction is an essential component of many prospective technologies for the renewable synthesis of carbon-containing fuels. Known catalysts for this reaction generally suffer from low energetic efficiency, poor product selectivity, and rapid deactivation. We show that the reduction of thick Au oxide films results in the formation of Au nanoparticles (oxide-derived Au) that exhibit highly selective CO2 reduction to CO in water at overpotentials as low as 140 mV and retain their activity for at least 8 h. Under identical conditions, polycrystalline Au electrodes and several other nano-structured Au electrodes prepared via alternative methods require at least 200 mV of additional overpotential to attain comparable CO2 reduction activity and rapidly lose their activity. Electrokinetic studies indicate that the improved catalysis is linked to dramatically increased stabilization of the CO2 center dot- intermediate on the surfaces of the oxide-derived Au electrodes.
