Angewandte Chemie International Edition, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 62(49)

Опубликована: Окт. 19, 2023

Electrochemical carbon dioxide reduction reaction (CO2 RR) to produce valuable chemicals is a promising pathway alleviate the energy crisis and global warming issues. However, simultaneously achieving high Faradaic efficiency (FE) current densities of CO2 RR in wide potential range remains as huge challenge for practical implements. Herein, we demonstrate that incorporating bismuth-based (BH) catalysts with L-histidine, common amino acid molecule proteins, an effective strategy overcome inherent trade-off between activity selectivity. Benefiting from significantly enhanced adsorption capability promoted electron-rich nature by L-histidine integrity, BH catalyst exhibits excellent FEformate unprecedented windows (>90 % within -0.1--1.8 V >95 -0.2--1.6 versus reversible hydrogen electrode, RHE). Excellent performance can still be achieved under low-concentration feeding (e.g., 20 vol.%). Besides, extremely low onset -0.05 VRHE (close theoretical thermodynamic -0.02 ) was detected situ ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) measurements, together stable operation over 50 h preserved ≈95 partial density 326.2 mA cm-2 at -1.0 .
