Bismuth/Graphdiyne Heterostructure for Electrocatalytic Conversion of CO_(2) to Formate

摘要

Electrocatalytic CO_(2) reduction is great promising in alleviating the excessive CO_(2) emission and the conversion to valuable productions.Herein we report the in-situ controlled growth of Bismuth nanoflower/graphdiyne heterostructures(Bi/GDY)for efficient CO_(2) conversion toward formate.Based on GDY,the obtained electrocatalyst exhibits a partial current density of 19.2 mA/cm^(2) and high reaction selectivity towards formate with a high Faradic efficiency of 91.7%at−1.03 V vs.RHE,and an energy efficiency of 58.8%.The high formate yield rates could be maintained at around 300µ.mol/(cm^(2)·h)over a wide potential range.Detailed characterizations show that the unique interface structures between GDY and Bi can enhance the charge transfer ability,increase the number of active sites,and improve the long-term stability,and finally reach high-performance electrocatalytic conversion of CO_(2) to formate.
