Electrochemical CO2 reduction to multicarbon products faces challenges of unsatisfactory selectivity, productivity, and long-term stability. Herein, we demonstrate CO2 electroreduction in strongly acidic electrolyte (pH ≤ 1) on electrochemically reduced porous Cu nanosheets by combining the confinement effect and cation effect to synergistically modulate the local microenvironment. A Faradaic efficiency of 83.7 ± 1.4% and partial current density of 0.56 ± 0.02 A cm−2, single-pass carbon efficiency of 54.4%, and stable electrolysis of 30 h in a flow cell are demonstrated for multicarbon products in a strongly acidic aqueous electrolyte consisting of sulfuric acid and KCl with pH ≤ 1. Mechanistically, the accumulated species (e.g., K+ and OH) on the Helmholtz plane account for the selectivity and activity toward multicarbon products by kinetically reducing the proton coverage and thermodynamically favoring the CO2 conversion. We find that the K+ cations facilitate C-C coupling through local interaction between K+ and the key intermediate *OCCO.

通过协同调节局部微环境,在强酸性电解质中将 CO2 电还原为多碳产物

电化学 CO 2还原为多碳产品面临着选择性、生产率和长期稳定性不尽如人意的挑战。在此,我们通过结合限制效应和阳离子效应协同调节局部微环境,在电化学还原的多孔 Cu 纳米片上展示了强酸性电解质 (pH ≤ 1) 中的 CO 2电还原。多碳产品在强酸性水溶液中的法拉第效率为 83.7 ± 1.4%,部分电流密度为 0.56 ± 0.02 A cm -2,单程碳效率为 54.4%,并且在流通池中稳定电解 30 小时由 pH ≤ 1 的硫酸和 KCl 组成的电解质。从机械上讲,积累的物质(例如,K +和 OH - ) 在亥姆霍兹平面上通过动力学降低质子覆盖率和热力学有利于 CO 2转化来解释对多碳产物的选择性和活性。我们发现 K +阳离子通过 K +和关键中间体 *OCCO之间的局部相互作用促进 CC 偶联。
