Stabilizing Cu2+ Ions by Solid Solutions to Promote CO2 Electroreduction to Methane
Abstract
Copper is the only metal catalyst that can perform the electrocatalytic CO 2 reduction reaction (CRR) to produce hydrocarbons and oxygenates. Its surface oxidation state determines the reaction pathway to various products. However, under the cathodic potential of CRR conditions, the chemical composition of most Cu-based catalysts inevitably undergoes electroreduction from Cu 2+ to Cu 0 or Cu 1+ species, which is generally coupled with phase reconstruction and the formation of new active sites. Since the initial Cu 2+ active sites are hard to retain, there have been few studies about Cu 2+ catalysts for CRR. Herein we propose a solid-solution strategy to stabilize Cu 2+ ions by incorporating them into a CeO 2 matrix, which works as a self-sacrificing ingredient to protect Cu 2+ active species. In situ spectroscopic characterization and density functional theory calculations reveal that compared with the conventionally derived Cu catalysts with Cu 0 or Cu 1+ active sites, the Cu 2+ species in the solid solution (Cu-Ce-O x ) can significantly strengthen adsorption of the *CO intermediate, facilitating its further hydrogenation to produce CH 4 instead of dimerization to give C 2 products. As a result, different from most of the other Cu-based catalysts, Cu-Ce-O x delivered a high Faradaic efficiency of 67.8% for CH 4 and a low value of 3.6% for C 2 H 4 .

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.
