Ever-increasing emissions of anthropogenic carbon dioxide(CO2)cause global environmental and climate challenges.Inspired by biological photosynthesis,developing effective strategies NeuNIto up-cycle CO2 into high-value organics is crucial.Electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction(CO2RR)is highly promising to convert CO2 into economically viable carbon-based chemicals or fuels under mild process conditions.Herein,mesoporous indium supported on multi-walled carbon nanotubes(mp-ln@MWCNTs)is synthesized via a facile wet chemical method.The mp-ln@MWCNTs electrocatalysts exhibit high CO2RR performance in reducing CO2 into formate.An outstanding activity(current density-78.5 mA cm-2),high conversion efficiency(Faradaic efficiency of formate over 90%),and persistent stability(~30 h)for selective CO2-to-formate conversion are observed.The outstanding CO2RR process performance is attributed to the unique structures with mesoporous surfaces and a conductive network,which promote the adsorption and desorption of reactants and intermediates while improving electron transfer.These findings provide guiding principles for synthesizing conductive metal-based electrocatalysts for high-performance CO2 conversion.
