ABSTRACT
Electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) is one of the most attractive measures to achieve the carbon neutral goal by converting CO2 into high-value chemicals such as formate. Si in Bi silicates is promising to enhance CO2 adsorption and activation due to its strong oxygenophilicity. Whereas, its role in boosting CO2RR via the cheap Bi-based catalysts is still not clear. Herein, we design CNT@Bi silicates catalyst, demonstrating the highest FEHCOOH of 96.3 % at -0.9 V vs. reversible hydrogen electrode with good stability. Through X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), in-situ Attenuated Total Reflectance-Fourier Transform Infrared (In-situ ATR-SEIRAS) experiments, and Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations, the role of Si in Bi silicates was unveiled tuning the electronic structure of Bi, weakening the Bi-O bond, and strengthening electron transfer from Bi to CO2, thereby promoting the generation of CO2*- and *OCHO intermediates. Additionally, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) promote not only the conductivity but also the generation of abundant oxygen vacancies in CNT@Bi silicates evidenced by the electron transfer from CNT to Bi silicates from XPS results. Further, the CNT@Bi silicates endows it with the highest electrochemical activation area. These findings suggest the effectiveness of Si in Bi silicates and structure tuning to design highly selective CO2RR catalyst for HCOOH production.
