报告摘要：
Electrochemical reduction of CO2 into value-added chemical feedstocks and fuels offers a promising strategy to store the renewable electricity and close the carbon loop. Copper-based electrocatalysts stand out in catalyzing CO2 electroreduction for their distinct capability to form hydrocarbons and oxygenates. However, significant enhancement in the rate and selectivity for valuable products to improve energy efficiency remains imperative for copper-based electrocatalysts to become viable for practical applications. Rational design to achieve advanced catalysts relies on the mechanistic understandings of key reaction steps that control the formation of the valuable hydrocarbons and oxygenates. Experimental study of CO2 electroreduction mechanisms in aqueous electrolyte is challenging. This is because the multitude of chemical equilibria among CO2, hydroxide, bicarbonate and carbonate make the isolation of roles of any specific species in the reaction difficult, which in many cases lead to contradictory conclusions. Thus, computational investigations have been intensively carried out to explore the reaction mechanisms and the dominant reaction pathways towards hydrocarbons and oxygenates. In this presentation, I would like to discuss our recent experimental efforts in gaining mechanistic insights into the CO2 electroreduction reaction, from which we propose advanced design strategies for achieving high-performance CO2 electrolysis technique.
