In-situ constructing Cu1Bi1 bimetallic catalyst to promote the electroreduction of CO2 to formate by synergistic electronic and geometric effects

Abstract

Abstract: Electrochemical CO₂ reduction to formate is a potential approach to achieving global carbon neutrality. Here, Cu₁Bi₁ bimetallic catalyst was prepared by a co-precipitation method. It has a ginger like composite structure (CuO/CuBi₂O₄) and exhibited a high formate faradaic efficiency of 98.07% at -0.98 V and a large current density of -56.12 mA cm^-2 at -1.28 V, which is twice as high as Bi₂O₃ catalyst. Especially, high selectivity (FE^-_HCOO > 85%) is maintained over a wide potential window of 500 mV. In-situ Raman mea-surements and structure characterization revealed that the reduced Cu₁Bi₁ bimetallic catalyst possesses abundant Cu-Bi interfaces and residual Bi-O structures. The abundant Cu-Bi interface structures on the catalyst surface can provide abundant active sites for CO₂RR, while the Bi-O structures may stabilize the CO₂*^- intermediate. The synergistic effect of abundant Cu-Bi interfaces and Bi-O species promotes the efficient synthesis of formate by following the OCHO* pathway.
