Abstract:
The electrocatalytic coupling of methanol and CO to produce dimethyl carbonate (DMC) is an attractive strategy for converting C1 resources into value-added products, while the controlled adsorption and coupling of two key intermediates, *CO and *OCH3, have not been demonstrated yet. Herein, a heterointerface engineering strategy is developed to modulate intermediate adsorption and facilitate the C & horbar;O bond formation. By constructing a Pd and PdO heterostructure catalyst with abundant interfaces (designated as Pd/PdO-r), the Pd0 sites serve to stabilize *CO and the electrophilic Pd2+ sites can promote the *OCH3 adsorption, thereby optimizing their spatial proximity and reactivity. In addition, the heterointerfaces allow to lower the coupling reaction barrier, enabling an efficient electrocatalytic pathway for the DMC synthesis. Consequently, the Pd/PdO-r heterostructure catalyst exhibited a high Faradaic efficiency of 86% with a DMC yield rate of 252 mu mol h-1 mgcat-1 in flow cells. The work suggests an effective approach to design heterointerfaces for enhanced intermediate adsorption and coupling, thus promoting the formation of valuable multicarbon products from C1 resources.
