Boosting Production of HCOOH from CO ₂ Electroreduction via Bi/CeO _x

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, Год журнала: 2021, Номер 60(16), С. 8798 - 8802

Опубликована: Янв. 29, 2021

Abstract Formic acid (HCOOH) is one of the most promising chemical fuels that can be produced through CO 2 electroreduction. However, catalysts for electroreduction to HCOOH in aqueous solution often suffer from low current density and limited production rate. Herein, we provide a bismuth/cerium oxide (Bi/CeO x ) catalyst, which exhibits not only high (149 mA cm −2 ), but also unprecedented rate (2600 μmol h −1 with Faradaic efficiency (FE, 92 %) generation media. Furthermore, Bi/CeO shows favorable stability over 34 h. We hope this work could offer an attractive strategy develop efficient superior activity desirable stability.
