一体化电极电催化二氧化碳还原研究进展

电催化二氧化碳还原反应(E-CO₂RR)可在温和条件下将CO₂转化成高附加值燃料或化学品,近年来受到广泛关注,其在实际反应中涉及到气体扩散和多电子转移等复杂过程,构筑高效、稳定的催化电极是其发展的核心之一。然而,传统涂敷电极制备时,需要将催化剂与粘结剂混合涂覆于集流体表面,此过程会造成活性位点包埋和传质过程受限,致使催化剂活性位利用率下降,同时在反应过程中电极表面容易粉化,造成稳定性下降,难以重复利用。因此,如何调控电极反应界面,提升催化剂活性位的利用率仍面临挑战。将催化剂原位生长于集流体上得到的一体化电极可直接应用于电催化反应,不仅有利于提升活性位利用率以及电荷传输能力,还能有效调控三相界面处的微观反应环境(如pH、反应物及反应中间体的浓度等),从而实现电催化性能强化。本文综述了一体化电极用于E-CO₂RR的最新进展,分析了结构和表界面调控对E-CO₂RR性能的影响规律,并对该领域仍然存在的挑战和未来一体化E-CO₂RR电极的发展进行了评述与展望。     

Recent Progress on Bismuth-based Nanomaterials for Electrocatalytic Carbon Dioxide Reduction

Due to the burning of fossil fuels, the level of carbon dioxide(CO₂) in the atmosphere gradually rises, leading to serious greenhouse effect and environmental problems. Electrocatalytic reduction of CO₂ is currently an efficient way to convert CO₂ to value-added products. Bismuth(Bi)-based nanomaterials have raised great interests due to their excellent activity and high selectivity to electrocatalytic CO₂ reduction.

Partially Oxidized Palladium Nanodots for Enhanced Electrocatalytic Carbon Dioxide Reduction

Here we report a partially oxidized palladium nanodot (Pd/PdO_x) catalyst with a diameter of around 4.5 nm. In aqueous CO₂‐saturated 0.5 m KHCO₃, the catalyst displays a Faradaic efficiency (FE) of 90 % at −0.55 V vs. reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE) for carbon monoxide (CO) production, and the activity can be retained for at least 24 h. The improved catalytic activity can be attributed to the strong adsorption of CO₂^.− intermediate on the Pd/PdO_x electrode, wherein the presence of Pd²⁺ during the electroreduction reaction of CO₂ may play an important role in accelerating the carbon dioxide reduction reaction (CO₂RR). This study explores the catalytic mechanism of a partially oxidized nanostructured Pd electrocatalyst and provides new opportunities for improving the CO₂RR performance of metal systems.

Covalent Organic Framework Materials for Photo/ Electrocatalytic Carbon Dioxide Reduction北大核心CSCD

Covalent organic frameworks （COFs）are a class of emerging materials connected by covalent bonds,which have high thermal/chemical stability （except boric acid COFs）,permanent porosity,large specific surface area and good crystallinity. In addition,the structure of the monomer unit in COFs is adjustable and can coordinate with many transition metal ions to provide catalytic active sites. These advantages make COFs helpful to catalyze various reactions. Among them,COFs have an excellent catalytic effect on the CO2 reduction reaction（CO2 RR）. This is mainly because the adjustable pore structure of COFs allows them to adsorb a large amount of CO2 and the π-π stacking structure in COFs can promote charge transfer, which can greatly improve the efficiency of CO2 reduction. COFs can be used as photo/ electrocatalysts to efficiently reduce CO2 to CO,CH4 ,HCOOH and other products. This review discusses the important achievements of CO2 RR catalyzed by COFs, including photo/electrocatalytic CO2 RR and photoelectric coupling CO2 RR. In addition,the future development of COFs as CO2 RR catalysts is also prospected. © 2022, Science Press (China). All rights reserved.     

Amorphous Fe Nanoclusters Embedded inside Balloon-Like N-Doped Hollow Carbon for Efficient Electrocatalytic Oxygen Reduction

Rational designs of electrocatalytic active sites and architectures are of great importance to develop cost-efficient non-noble metal electrocatalysts towards efficient oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) for high-performance energy conversion and storage devices. In this work, active amorphous Fe-based nanoclusters (Fe NC) are elaborately embedded at the inner surface of balloon-like N-doped hollow carbon (Fe NC/C_h sphere) as an efficient ORR electrocatalyst with an ultrathin wall of about 10 nm. When evaluated for electrochemical performance, Fe NC/C_h sphere exhibits decent ORR activity with a diffusion-limited current density of ~5.0 mA/cm² and a half-wave potential of ~0.81 V in alkaline solution, which is comparable with commercial Pt/C and superior to Fe nanoparticles supported on carbon sheet (Fe NP/C sheet) counterpart. The electrochemical analyses combined with electronic structure characterizations reveal that robust Fe-N interactions in amorphous Fe nanoclusters are helpful for the adsorption of surface oxygen-relative species, and the strong support effect of N-doped hollow carbon is benefitial for accelerating the interfacial electron transfer, which jointly contributes to improve ORR kinetics for Fe NC/C_h sphere.     

A Sulfur-Doped Copper Catalyst with Efficient Electrocatalytic Formate Generation during the Electrochemical Carbon Dioxide Reduction Reaction

Catalysts involving post-transition metals have shown almost invincible performance on generating formate in electrochemical CO₂ reduction reaction (CO₂RR). Conversely, Cu without post-transition metals has struggled to achieve comparable activity. In this study, a sulfur (S)-doped-copper (Cu)-based catalyst is developed, exhibiting excellent performance in formate generation with a maximum Faradaic efficiency of 92 % and a partial current density of 321 mA cm⁻². Ex situ structural elucidations reveal the presence of abundant grain boundaries and high retention of S−S bonds from the covellite phase during CO₂RR. Furthermore, thermodynamic calculations demonstrate that S−S bonds can moderate the binding energies with various intermediates, further improving the activity of the formate pathway. This work is significant in modifying a low-cost catalyst (Cu) with a non-metallic element (S) to achieve comparable performance to mainstream catalysts for formate generation in industrial grade.     

A Stable and Conductive Metallophthalocyanine Framework for Electrocatalytic Carbon Dioxide Reduction in Water

Transformation of carbon dioxide to high value‐added chemicals becomes a significant challenge for clean energy studies. Here a stable and conductive covalent organic framework was developed for electrocatalytic carbon dioxide reduction to carbon monoxide in aqueous solution. The cobalt(II) phthalocyanine catalysts are topologically connected via robust phenazine linkage into a two‐dimensional tetragonal framework that is stable under boiling water, acid, or base conditions. The 2D lattice enables full π conjugation along x and y directions as well as π conduction along the z axis across the π columns. With these structural features, the electrocatalytic framework exhibits a faradaic efficiency of 96 %, an exceptional turnover number up to 320 000, and a long‐term turnover frequency of 11 412 hour^?1, which is a 32‐fold improvement over molecular catalyst. The combination of catalytic activity, selectivity, efficiency, and durability is desirable for clean energy production.
