Elucidating the structure-activity relationship of Cu-Ag bimetallic catalysts for electrochemical CO2 reduction

Developing bimetallic catalysts is an effective strategy for enhancing the activity and selectivity of elec-trochemical CO2 reduction reactions,where understanding the structure-activity relationship is essential for catalyst design.Herein,we prepared two Cu-Ag bimetallic catalysts with Ag nanoparticles attached to the top or the bottom of Cu nanowires.When tested in a flow cell,the Cu-Ag catalyst with Ag nanopar-ticles on the bottom achieved a faradaic efficiency of 54%for ethylene production,much higher than the catalyst with Ag nanoparticles on the top.The catalysts were further studied in the H-cell and zero-gap MEA cell.It was found that placing the two metals in the intensified reaction zone is crucial to triggering the tandem reaction of bimetallic catalysts.Our work elucidates the structure-activity relationship of bimetallic catalysts for CO2 reduction and demonstrates the importance of considering both catalyst structures and cell characteristics to achieve high activity and selectivity.
