This paper presents a novel synthesis strategy for Bi-based catalyst in CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR), which successfully synthesized heterostructured Bi/Bi2O3 nanoplates with abundant O vacancies. The catalyst exhibits excellent catalytic activity for CO2RR and high selectivity for formate generation, surpassing most of the state-of-the-art Bi-based catalysts reported to date. The combination of coordination and heterointerface engineering is shown to promote the catalytic activity and selectivity of Bi-based materials for CO2RR.
Electrocatalytic reduction of CO2 to formate is believed to be one of the most promising technologies for producing clean fuels and valuable chemicals and for tackling the global warming problem. Herein, a novel synthesis strategy is presented for Bi-based catalyst in CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR). With the addition of acetic acid into the mother solution, heterostructured Bi/Bi2O3 nanoplates with abundant O vacancies (Bi/Bi2O3-O-v) and tailored coordination environments of the Bi ions are successfully synthesized, which exhibit excellent catalytic activity for CO2RR and high selectivity for formate generation with wide operable windows of pH (neutral to alkaline) and potential. In particular, the faradic efficiency (HCOOH) reaches >= 90% in a wide potential range of -0.7--1.35 V versus reversible hydrogen electrode in neutral media, which dwarf most of the state-of-the-art Bi-based catalysts for CO2RR reported to date. Combined experimental and theoretical results show that the abundant O vacancies create frustrated Lewis pairs at the heterointerfaces with favorable adsorption characteristics, thereby facilitating the CO2RR process. This work opens up a new approach to promoting the catalytic activity and selectivity of Bi-based materials for CO2RR by combining coordination and heterointerface engineering.
