Abstract CO 2 reduction reaction (CO RR), as a promising strategy for storing renewable energy and promoting carbon resource recycling, is critical industrial development. Previous reports have extensively explored catalyst‐electrolyte microenvironmental modulation to elucidate coupling mechanisms enhance catalytic conversion multicarbon products. Currently, most reviews mainly focus on the impact of microenvironment in low‐current systems mechanism exploration performance optimization, yet few them can integrate macroscopic applications with microscopic investigations explore relevance between development optimization. To address gap, this review focuses summarizing challenges advancements high‐current devices. By introducing models different scales sequentially, connection device clarified. Then, various invalidation effective solutions are summarized intuitively expound stability. Meanwhile, an intuitive measure rationality modulation, evaluation methods should be refined, which also covered further detail below.

The effects of the electrical double layer (EDL), which pertain to compositions and interactions among electrolyte species, significantly impact catalytic process. There is a pressing need investigate role components deepen our understanding EDL effects. In this study, we tune water activity within range anionic surfactants featuring different functional groups adjust H2 evolution CO2 reduction selectivity. We demonstrate that these are active in local reaction environment under cathodic potential. enhanced selectivity CO can be attributed robust interfacial hydrogen-bonding network reformed by surfactants. This diminishes dissociation promotes hydrogenation step reduction. Notably, incorporating improves performance, registering Faradaic efficiencies 89.7% (RSO3–, SDS), 97.5% (RSO4–, SLS), 98.4% (RPO42–, SMP), 98.9% (RCOO–, SL) at −1.2 V versus RHE, thereby outperforming blank KHCO3 (53.1%). research underscores crucial influence additives CO2RR.

ABSTRACT Electrocatalytic CO 2 reduction (ECR) is a promising approach to converting into chemicals and fuels. Among the ECR products, C products such as ethylene, ethanol, acetate have been extensively studied due their high industrial demands. However, mechanistic understanding of product formation remains unclear lack in situ or operando measurements that can observe complex instantaneous atomic evolutions adsorbates at electrode/electrolyte interface. Moreover, sensitivity reactions variations interface further widens gap between performance enhancement. To bridge this gap, first‐principle studies provide insights how influences ECR. In study, we present review investigating effects various factors interface, with an emphasis on formation. We begin by introducing essential metrics. Next, discuss classified components namely, electrocatalyst, electrolyte, adsorbates, respectively, Due interplay among these factors, aim deconvolute influence each factor clearly demonstrate impacts. Finally, outline directions for products.

Electrochemical CO2 reduction to multicarbon products is vital for renewable fuels. While copper catalysts are effective C2+ production, the instability of Cu+ species hinders long-term performance. The present study reports development a Cu2O-PdO heterojunction and investigates influence an unoccupied orbital energy level regulation strategy on stabilization interfacial crystalline Cu2O during reaction (CO2RR). hybrid catalyst showed significant improvement, with 84% higher Faradaic efficiency C2H4, lasted over 7 h, vastly outperforming 2 h benchmark Cu2O. In-situ Raman, ex-situ XRD, theoretical calculations reveal that broadened d-orbital in PdO provides lower electrons, which contributes adjacent ions, high active interface significantly lowers barrier CO-CO dimerization step (2*CO → *OCCO) enhances selectivity activity CO2RR ethylene.

Electrosynthesis of acetate from carbon monoxide (CO) powered by renewable electricity offers one promising avenue to obtain valuable carbon-based products but undergoes unsatisfied selectivity because the competing hydrogen evolution reaction. We report here a cerium single atoms (Ce-SAs) modified crystalline-amorphous dual-phase copper (Cu) catalyst, in which Ce SAs reduce electron density Cu, lowering proportion interfacial K+ ion hydrated water (K·H2O) and thereby decreasing H* coverage on catalyst surface. Meanwhile, transfer Cu yields Cu+ species, boost formation active atop-adsorbed *CO (COatop), improving COatop-COatop coupling kinetics. These together lead preferential pathway ketene intermediate (*CH2-C=O) formation, then reacts with OH- enriched pulsed electrolysis generate acetate. Using this we achieve high Faradaic efficiency 71.3 ± 2.1% toward time-averaged current 110.6 2.0 mA cm−2 under mode. Furthermore, flow-cell reactor assembled can produce steadily for at least 138 hours greater than 60%. CO using faces low selectivity. Here, authors atom modulated where tailor structure, enabling highly selective CO-to-acetate conversion electrolysis.
