Development of high-efficiency electrode materials for the electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction(CO2RR)with high current density and selectivity compatible with industry is an important but signifi-cant challenge.Herein,we describe a facile strategy to enhance the selectivity and current density by regu-lating the local electron density of the cobalt site in a series of stable,conjugated,bimetallic Co/Zn poly-phthalocyanine frameworks CoxZnyPPc with an AB stacking model under alkaline aqueous conditions.When adjusting the ratio of Co and Zn to 3:1,the optimal Co3Zn1PPc exhibits an industry-compatible CO partial current density of 212 mA cm-2 at-0.9 V versus reversible hydrogen electrode in a flow cell,which is 1.7 and 9.1 times that of the single metal polyphthalocyanine CoPPc and ZnPPc,respectively.Co3Zn1PPc shows a high CO Faraday efficiency of more than 90%in a wide operating potential win-dow of-0.3 to-0.9 V.In-depth experimental and theoretical analysis revealed that introduction of electron-rich Zn atoms modified the electron densi-ty of the active Co center,placing Co in the electron-rich region and weakening the bonding strength with the reaction intermediate,thereby improving the CO2RR performance.These results clarify the interaction mechanism of dual metal sites at the atomic level and provide a new avenue for the de-sign of electrocatalysts with potential in industrial applications.
