Highly dispersed atomic-level Ni active sites confined in defects for efficient electrocatalytic reduction of carbon dioxide

Electrocatalytic CO2 reduction reaction(eCO2RR)presents a promising approach for harnessing renew-able energy and converting greenhouse gas(CO2)into high value-added CO products.N-doped single atom(SA)and atomic-level metal nanocluster(MN)tandem catalysts with rich defects for eCO2RR are reported,which achieved a maximum CO Faraday efficiency(FEco)of 97.7%(-0.7 V vs.RHE)in the H-type cell and maintained over 95%FEco at potentials from-0.18 to-0.73 V vs.RHE in the flow cell.Furthermore,the catalyst in the flow cell demonstrated a remarkably low onset potential of-0.14 V vs.RHE and the current density was approximately three times that of the H-type cell.Interestingly,XPS analysis indicates that carbon substrates containing defects have more pyridine-N content.DFT calcula-tions and in-situ attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared support this finding by showing that the Ni-(N-C2)3 active sites with defect favors preferentially convert CO2-to-CO.
