Highly Selective Reduction of CO2 to C2+ Hydrocarbons at Copper/Polyaniline Interfaces
Abstract
Electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide (CO 2 RR) to liquid fuels and valued chemicals is a meaningful approach to decreasing CO 2 emissions and alleviating the energy crisis. In particular, the conversion of CO 2 into multicarbon products is of technological significance. Cu is the only transition metal that is able to catalyze the CO 2 RR to produce C 2+ hydrocarbons, but the catalytic selectivity of pristine Cu is low. Herein we report a facile method to largely enhance the C 2+ selectivity of polycrystalline Cu toward the CO 2 RR. By coating the Cu surface with a 50 nm thick film of polyaniline (PANI), the faradaic efficiency (FE) of C 2+ hydrocarbons was increased from ca. 15% to 60% at −1.1 V RHE in KHCO 3 solutions. When applying the PANI coating onto Cu nanoparticles, the FE of C 2+ hydrocarbons can even reach 80%, with the FE of ethylene over 40%. Such performance remained stable in a test period of 20 h. The superiority of the Cu/PANI interface is not due to the change in the morphology or the electronic properties of the Cu substrate but instead is due to an improvement in the coverage and interaction of the CO intermediate, which facilitates the CO–CO coupling, as revealed by in situ infrared spectroscopy. This study opens an avenue to tuning the catalytic activity and selectivity of Cu toward the CO 2 RR, not through the structure of the catalyst but through the environment above the surface.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
