Abstract

Electrochemical CO 2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) to formate is considered as one of the most promising routes for value-added fuels and chemical productions. The achievement of excellent activity and high Faradaic efficiency in a wide potential range is critical for mature applications. To this regard, we first employed density functional theory simulations to predict activity of Bi nanotubes and Bi nanosheets to CO2RR and selectivity toward formate. The theoretical thermodynamic analysis of the reaction energetics suggests that the limiting potential for CO 2 reduction to HCOOH decreases with the increase of the curvature, suggesting a wider potential window of Bi nanotubes for formate formation. Then, Bi nanotubes with highly curved surface were experimentally prepared, showing a large current density (−39.4 mA cm –2 at −1.1 V vs reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE)) for CO 2 reduction and a maximum formate selectivity of 97% at −1.0 V vs RHE. More importantly, compared with Bi nanosheets, an appreciable selectivity for formate was achieved on Bi nanotubes in a significantly wider potential window of ∼600 mV (selectivity > 80%). This research provides not only the CO2RR activity–surface structure relationship of metallic Bi but also an efficient strategy for the rational design of electrocatalysts with high activity and selectivity in a wide potential window for CO2RR, which is favorable for compatible application with varied types of photovoltaics and other renewable energy sources.

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.
