Bismuth-based catalysts are highly promising for the electrochemical carbon dioxide reduction reaction(eCO2RR)to formate product.However,achieving high activity and selectivity towards formate and ensuring long-term stability remains challenging.This work reports the oxygen plasma inducing strategy to construct the abundant grain boundaries of Bi/BiOx on ultrathin two-dimensional Bi nanosheets.The oxygen plasma-treated Bi nanosheet(OP-Bi)exhibits over 90%Faradaic efficiency(FE)for formate at a wide potential range from-0.5 to-1.1 V,and maintains a great stability catalytic performance without significant decay over 30 h in flow cell.Moreover,membrane electrode assembly(MEA)device with OP-Bi as catalyst sustains the robust current density of 100 mA cm-2 over 50 h,maintaining a formate FE above 90%.In addition,rechargeable Zn-CO2 battery presents the peak power density of 1.22 mW cm-2 with OP-Bi as bifunctional catalyst.The mechanism experiments demonstrate that the high-density grain boundaries of OP-Bi provide more exposed active sites,faster electron transfer capac-ity,and the stronger intrinsic activity of Bi atoms.In situ spectroscopy and theoretical calculations further elucidate that the unsaturated Bi coordination atoms between the grain boundaries can effectively acti-vate CO2 molecules through elongating the C-O bond,and reducing the formation energy barrier of the key intermediate(*OCOH),thereby enhancing the catalytic performance of eCO2RR to formate product.
