Abstract

Abstract Earth-abundant electrocatalysts are desirable for the efficient and selective reduction of CO2 to value-added chemicals. Here, a low-cost porous Zn electrocatalyst is synthesized using a facile electrodeposition method to boost the performance of CO2 electrocatalytic reaction (CO2RR). In an H-cell reactor, the porous Zn catalyst can convert CO2 to CO at a remarkably high faradaic efficiency (FE, ∼95%) and current density (27 mA cm–2) at −0.95 V versus the reversible hydrogen electrode. Detailed electrokinetic studies demonstrate that instead of the enhanced intrinsic activity, the dramatically increased active sites play a decisive role in improving the catalytic activity. In addition, the high local pH induced by the highly porous structure of Zn results in enhanced CO selectivity because of the suppressed H2 evolution. Furthermore, we present a straightforward strategy to transform the porous Zn electrode into a gas diffusion electrode. This way, the CO2RR current density can be boosted to 200 mA cm–2 with ∼84% FE for CO at −0.64 V in a flow-cell reactor, which is, to date, the best performance observed over non-noble CO2RR catalysts.

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.
