Synthesis of Cu/CeO2-x Nanocrystalline Heterodimers with Interfacial Active Sites To Promote CO2 Electroreduction
Open accessAbstract
Synergistic effects at metal/metal oxide interfaces often give rise to highly active and selective catalytic motifs. So far, such interactions have been rarely explored to enhance the selectivity in the electrochemical CO 2 reduction reaction (CO 2 RR). Herein, Cu/CeO 2- x heterodimers (HDs) are synthesized and presented as one of the prime examples where such effects promote CO 2 RR. A colloidal seeded-growth synthesis is developed to connect the two highly mismatched domains (Cu and CeO 2- x ) through an interface. The Cu/CeO 2- x HDs exhibit state-of-the-art selectivity toward CO 2 RR (up to ∼80%) against the competitive hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and high faradaic efficiency for methane (up to ∼54%) at −1.2 V RHE, which is ∼5 times higher than that obtained when the Cu and CeO 2- x nanocrystals are physically mixed. Operando X-ray absorption spectroscopy along with other ex-situ spectroscopies evidences the partial reduction of Ce 4+ to Ce 3+ in the HDs during CO 2 RR. A Density Functional Theory (DFT) study of the active site motif in reducing condition reveals synergistic effects in the electronic structure at the interface. The proposed lowest free energy pathway utilizes an O-vacancy site with intermediates binding to both Cu and Ce atoms, a configuration which allows one to break the CHO*/CO* scaling relation. The suppression of HER is attributed to the spontaneous formation of CO* at this interfacial motif and subsequent blockage of the Cu-sites.

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.
