Abstract:
Electrocatalytic CO2 reduction has been developed as a promising and attractive strategy to achieve carbon neutrality for sustainable chemical production. Among various reduction products, multi-carbon (C2+) compounds with higher energy density are desirable value-added products. Herein, we review and discuss the recent progress and challenges in preparing C2+ products. We start with the elaboration of the most recent advancement of carbon-carbon coupling results and the newly proposed mechanisms, which are much more complicated than that of single-carbon products. The complex scenarios involved in the initial CO2 activation process, the catalyst micro/nanostructure design, and mass transfer conditions optimization have been thoroughly discussed. In addition, we also propose the synergistic realization of high C2+ product selectivity through the rational design of the catalyst and elaborate on the influence of electrolytes (anion/cation/pH/ionic liquid) using theoretical calculation analysis and machine learning prediction. Several in situ/operando techniques have been elaborated for tracking the structural evolution and recording the reaction intermediates during electrocatalysis. Additional insights into the triphasic interfacial reaction systems with improved C2+ selectivity are also provided. By presenting these advances and future challenges with potential solutions related to the integral development of electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide to C2+ products, we hope to shed some light on the forthcoming research on electrochemical carbon dioxide recycling.
