Abstract
Cu2+ -based materials, a class of promising catalysts for the electrocatalytic carbon dioxide reduction reaction (CO2 RR) to value-added chemicals, usually undergo inevitable and uncontrollable reorganization processes during the reaction, resulting in catalyst deactivation or the new active sites formation and bringing great challenges to exploring their structure-performance relationships. Herein, a facile strategy is reported for constructing Cu2+ and 3, 4-ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT) coordination to stabilize Cu2+ ions to prepare a novel layered coordination polymer (CuPEDOT). CuPEDOT enables selective reduction of CO2 to CH4 with 62.7% Faradaic efficiency at the current density of 354 mA cm-2 in a flow cell, and the catalyst is stable for at least 15 h. In situ spectroscopic characterization and theoretical calculations reveal that CuPEDOT catalyst can maintain the Cu2+ -EDOT coordination structurally stable in CO2 RR and significantly promote the further hydrogenation of *CO intermediates, favoring the formation of CH4 instead of dimerization to C2 products. The strong coordination between EDOT and Cu2+ prevents the reduction of Cu2+ ions during CO2 RR. The finding of this work provides a new perspective on designing molecularly stable, highly active catalysts for CO2 RR.

Sequential Solution Polymerization of Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) Using V 2O 5 as Oxidant for Flexible Touch Sensors. iScience 2019; 12:66-75. [PMID: 30677740 PMCID: PMC6352564 DOI: 10.1016/j.isci.2019.01.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 44] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/30/2018] [Revised: 12/11/2018] [Accepted: 01/02/2019] [Indexed: 11/26/2022] Open
Abstract
Various in situ synthesis methods have been developed for the polymerization of 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene monomers, such as electropolymerization, oxidative chemical vapor deposition, and vapor phase polymerization. Meeting industrial requirements through these techniques has, however, proven challenging. Here, we introduce an alternative method to fabricate highly conductive poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) films in situ by solution means. The process involves sequential deposition of oxidants (V2O5 in this case) and monomers. Excess reactants and by-products can be completely removed from the PEDOT film by MeOH rinsing. The obtained PEDOT films possess good crystallinity and high doping level, with carrier concentration three orders of magnitude higher than that of the commercial product (PH1000, Heraeus GmbH). The electrical conductivity of the as-cast PEDOT film reaches up to 1,420 S/cm. In addition, this method is fully compatible with large-scale printing techniques. These PEDOT conducting films enable the realization of flexible touch sensors, which demonstrate superior flexibility and sensitivity. Sequential solution polymerization (SSP) of PEDOT film delivers high conductivity The SSP method is compatible with large-scale printing technologies Touch sensor made with SSP PEDOT exhibits superior flexibility and sensitivity
