Abstract:
The electrochemical reduction of CO2 to formate is an effective approach to achieving carbon neutrality. However, the instability of catalyst remains a significant limitation. Doping heteroatoms is a recognized method for tuning the coordination environment to enhance both electrochemical performance and stability. Herein, we report a facile and mild hydrothermal method employing sulfur doping to tune the coordination environment of bismuth active sites. Sulfur doping modifies the coordination environment of active sites by partially substituting O atoms bonded with bismuth active sites and simultaneously creating an abundance of oxygen vacancies, which effectively stabilize the active sites. This results in notably improved stability, reaching 110 h with a significant FEHCOOH (around 100 %). The bismuth-based catalyst modified with sulfur exhibits an impressive FEHCOOH over 95 % across a wide applied potential range of −0.7 to −1.4 VRHE. The flower-like structure increases the electrochemical surface area, promoting greater exposure of bismuth active sites. This leads to a high formate production rate of 1248 mmol∙h-1∙cm-2 for the Cu-BiS catalyst, which is 1.7 times that of the Cu-Bi catalyst. This strategy provides an effective way to tune the coordination environment of active sites and stabilize them. © 2024 Elsevier B.V.
