摘要: Oxide-derived Cu materials are most commonly used as electrocatalysts for the carbon dioxide reduction reaction (CO2RR). Previous studies have proved that Cu+ and residual subsurface oxygen species can enhance CO2RR activity; however stable presence of remains a subject debate. Here, we design strategy single-atom Sn anchored on Cu2O nanosheets to stabilize key electroreduction CO2. Operando synchrotron X-ray absorption spectroscopy statistics analysis distinguish active reduced species, reveal constructed Sn–O–Cu sites with charge transfer significantly resistance copper oxides reduction. infrared suggests survival catalyst surface promotes adsorption *CO during CO2RR, leading obvious improvement CO2-to-CO conversion. Our results demonstrate role single-atom-modifier in both stabilizing enhancing selectivity oxide-derived catalysts.
