Electrocatalytic Production of C3-C4 Compounds by Conversion of CO2 on a Chloride-Induced Bi-Phasic Cu2O-Cu Catalyst.

摘要: Electrocatalytic conversion of carbon dioxide (CO2) has recently received considerable attention as one the most feasible CO2 utilization techniques. In particular, copper and copper-derived catalysts have exhibited ability to produce a number organic molecules from CO2. Herein, we report chloride (Cl)-induced bi-phasic cuprous oxide (Cu2O) metallic (Cu) electrode (Cu2OCl) an efficient catalyst for formation high-carbon by conversion, identify origin electroselectivity toward compounds. The Cu2OCl electrocatalyst results in preferential multi-carbon fuels, including n-propanol n-butane C3-C4 We propose that remarkable electrocatalytic behavior is due favorable affinity between reaction intermediates catalytic surface.
