Sequentially Regulating Potential-Determining Step for Lowering CO 2 Electroreduction Overpotential over Te-Doped Bi Nanotips. Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2024; 63:e202407772. [PMID: 38872256 DOI: 10.1002/anie.202407772] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/24/2024] [Revised: 06/07/2024] [Accepted: 06/13/2024] [Indexed: 06/15/2024]
Abstract
Electrocatalytic conversion of CO2 into formate is recognized an economically-viable route to upgrade CO2, but requires high overpotential to realize the high selectivity owing to high energy barrier for driving the involved proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) processes and serious ignorance of the second PCET. Herein, we surmount the challenge through sequential regulation of the potential-determining step (PDS) over Te-doped Bi (TeBi) nanotips. Computational studies unravel the incorporation of Te heteroatoms alters the PDS from the first PCET to the second one by substantially lowering the formation barrier for *OCHO intermediate, and the high-curvature nanotips induce enhanced electric field that can steer the formation of asymmetric *HCOOH. In this scenario, the thermodynamic barrier for *OCHO and *HCOOH can be sequentially decreased, thus enabling a high formate selectivity at low overpotential. Experimentally, distinct TeBi nanostructures are obtained via controlling Te content in the precursor and TeBi nanotips achieve >90 % of Faradaic efficiency for formate production over a comparatively positive potential window (-0.57 V to -1.08 V). The strong Bi-Te covalent bonds also afford a robust stability. In an optimized membrane electrode assembly device, the formate production rate at 3.2 V reaches 10.1 mmol h-1 cm-2, demonstrating great potential for practical application.

Abstract
Upgrading excess CO2 toward the electrosynthesis of formic acid is of significant research and commercial interest. However, simultaneously achieving high selectivity and industrially relevant current densities of CO2-to-formate conversion remains a grand challenge for practical implementations. Here, an electrically conductive zeolite support is strategically designed by implanting Sn ions into the skeleton structure of a zeolite Y, which impregnates ultrasmall In0.2Sn0.8 alloy nanoclusters into the supercages of the tailored 12-ring framework. The prominent electronic and geometric interactions between In0.2Sn0.8 nanoalloy and zeolite support lead to the delocalization of electron density that enhances orbital hybridizations between In active site and *OCHO intermediate. Thus, the energy barrier for the rate-limiting *OCHO formation step is reduced, facilitating the electrocatalytic hydrogenation of CO2 to formic acid. Accordingly, the developed zeolite electrocatalyst achieves an industrial-level partial current density of 322 mA cm-2 and remarkable Faradaic efficiency of 98.2% for formate production and stably maintains Faradaic efficiency above 93% at an industrially relevant current density for over 102 h. This work opens up new opportunities of conductive zeolite-based electrocatalysts for industrial-level formic acid electrosynthesis from CO2 electrolysis and toward practically accessible electrocatalysis and energy conversion.

Abstract
Noble metal nanocrystals face challenges in effectively catalyzing electrochemical ethanol oxidation reaction (EOR)-represented multistep, multielectron transfer processes due to the linear scaling relationship among binding energies of intermediates, impeding independent optimization of individual elemental steps. Herein, we develop noble metal nanocrystals with a range of local surface binding affinities in close proximity to overcome this challenge. Experimentally, this is demonstrated by applying tensile strain to a Pd surface and decorating it with discrete Au atoms, forming a diversity of binding sites with varying affinities in close proximity for guest molecules, as evidenced by CO probing and density functional theory calculations. Such a surface enables reaction intermediates to migrate between different binding sites as needed for each elemental step, thereby reducing the energy barrier for the overall EOR when compared to reactions at a single site. On these tailored surfaces, we attain specific and mass activities of 32.7 mA cm-2 and 47.8 A mgPd-1 in EOR, surpassing commercial Pd/C by 10.9 and 43.8 times, respectively, and outperforming state-of-the-art Pd-based catalysts. These results highlight the promise of this approach in improving a variety of multistep, multielectron transfer reactions, which are crucial for energy conversion applications.

Abstract
Elevated levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere and the diminishing reserves of fossil fuels have raised profound concerns regarding the resulting consequences of global climate change and the future supply of energy. Hence, the reduction and transformation of CO2 not only mitigates environmental pollution but also generates value-added chemicals, providing a dual remedy to address both energy and environmental challenges. Despite notable advancements, the low conversion efficiency of CO2 remains a major obstacle, largely attributed to its inert chemical nature. It is imperative to engineer catalysts/materials that exhibit high conversion efficiency, selectivity, and stability for CO2 transformation. With unparalleled precision at the atomic level, atomic layer deposition (ALD) and molecular layer deposition (MLD) methods utilize various strategies, including ultrathin modification, overcoating, interlayer coating, area-selective deposition, template-assisted deposition, and sacrificial-layer-assisted deposition, to synthesize numerous novel metal-based materials with diverse structures. These materials, functioning as active materials, passive materials or modifiers, have contributed to the enhancement of catalytic activity, selectivity, and stability, effectively addressing the challenges linked to CO2 transformation. Herein, this review focuses on ALD and MLD's role in fabricating materials for electro-, photo-, photoelectro-, and thermal catalytic CO2 reduction, CO2 capture and separation, and electrochemical CO2 sensing. Significant emphasis is dedicated to the ALD and MLD designed materials, their crucial role in enhancing performance, and exploring the relationship between their structures and catalytic activities for CO2 transformation. Finally, this comprehensive review presents the summary, challenges and prospects for ALD and MLD-designed materials for CO2 transformation.

Abstract
Aqueous Zn-CO2 batteries can not only convert CO2 into high-value chemicals but also store/output electric energy for external use. However, their performance is limited by sluggish and complicated CO2 electroreduction at the cathode. Herein, a dual-anion regulated Bi electrocatalyst is developed to selectively reduce CO2 to formate with a Faradaic efficiency of up to 97% at a large current density of 250 mA cm-2. With O and/or F, the rate-determine step of CO2 electroreduction has been manipulated (from the first hydrogenation to *HCOOH desorption step) with a reduced energy barrier. Significantly, the fabricated Zn-CO2 battery exhibits a high discharge voltage of 1.2 V, optimal power density of 4.51 mW cm-2, remarkable energy density of 802 Wh kg-1, and energy-conversion efficiency of 70.74%, stability up to 200 cycles and 68 h. This study provides possible strategies to fabricate reversible and energetic aqueous Zn-CO2 batteries by addressing cathodic problems.

Abstract
The electrochemical reduction of CO2 (CO2RR) to formic acid (HCOOH) is a promising approach to harness renewable energy for the production of value-added chemicals and contribute to carbon cycling. The search for cost-effective and efficient metal-free electrocatalysts is critical for realizing industrial applications. However, limited literature is available on this topic, primarily because the significant challenge of efficiently activating inert CO2 remains unresolved. In this study, we have designed and applied a novel boron carbide (B4C12) monolayered cage as an electrocatalyst for CO2RR to produce HCOOH. B4C12 exhibits exceptional electronic, dynamic, and thermodynamic stability. Through comprehensive density functional theory computations, we have observed that B4C12 rapidly and stably adsorbs CO2 in a unique η3(O, C, O)-CO2 configuration, resulting in excellent CO2RR activity with a low limiting potential (-0.38 V) and suppressed hydrogen evolution reaction. Our mechanistic investigations reveal that B4C12 donates electrons to facilitate the bending of CO2, anchoring it onto the curved surface effectively. Additionally, the C atom in the η3(O, C, O)-CO2 configuration attracts H+ + e- pairs through its active p electron, leading to the observed low limiting potential. This study not only successfully designs a novel class of metal-free electrocatalysts but also provides a promising strategy for advancing CO2RR research in the future.

Abstract
Electrochemical carbon dioxide reduction reaction (CO2 RR) to produce valuable chemicals is a promising pathway to alleviate the energy crisis and global warming issues. However, simultaneously achieving high Faradaic efficiency (FE) and current densities of CO2 RR in a wide potential range remains as a huge challenge for practical implements. Herein, we demonstrate that incorporating bismuth-based (BH) catalysts with L-histidine, a common amino acid molecule of proteins, is an effective strategy to overcome the inherent trade-off between the activity and selectivity. Benefiting from the significantly enhanced CO2 adsorption capability and promoted electron-rich nature by L-histidine integrity, the BH catalyst exhibits excellent FEformate in the unprecedented wide potential windows (>90 % within -0.1--1.8 V and >95 % within -0.2--1.6 V versus reversible hydrogen electrode, RHE). Excellent CO2 RR performance can still be achieved under the low-concentration CO2 feeding (e.g., 20 vol.%). Besides, an extremely low onset potential of -0.05 VRHE (close to the theoretical thermodynamic potential of -0.02 VRHE ) was detected by in situ ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) measurements, together with stable operation over 50 h with preserved FEformate of ≈95 % and high partial current density of 326.2 mA cm-2 at -1.0 VRHE .

Abstract
Metal alloys-structured electrocatalysts (MAECs) have made essential contributions to accelerating the practical applications of electrocatalytic devices in renewable energy systems. However, due to the complex atomic structures, varied electronic states, and abundant supports, precisely decoding the metal-metal interactions and structure-activity relationships of MAECs still confronts great challenges, which is critical to direct the future engineering and optimization of MAECs. Here, this timely review comprehensively summarizes the latest advances in creating the MAECs, including the metal-metal interactions, coordination microenvironments, and structure-activity relationships. First, the fundamental classification, design, characterization, and structural reconstruction of MAECs are outlined. Then, the electrocatalytic merits and modulation strategies of recent breakthroughs for noble and non-noble metal-structured MAECs are thoroughly discussed, such as solid solution alloys, intermetallic alloys, and single-atom alloys. Particularly, unique insights into the bond interactions, theoretical understanding, and operando techniques for mechanism disclosure are given. Thereafter, the current states of diverse MAECs with a unique focus on structural property-reactivity relationships, reaction pathways, and performance comparisons are discussed. Finally, the future challenges and perspectives for MAECs are systematically discussed. It is believed that this comprehensive review can offer a substantial impact on stimulating the widespread utilization of metal alloys-structured materials in electrocatalysis.

Abstract
Electrochemical reduction of CO2 using Cu catalysts enables the synthesis of C2+ products including C2H4 and C2H5OH. In this study, Cu catalysts were fabricated using plasma-enhanced atomic layer deposition (PEALD), achieving conformal deposition of catalysts throughout 3-D gas diffusion electrode (GDE) substrates while maintaining tunable control of Cu nanoparticle size and areal loading. The electrochemical CO2 reduction at the Cu surface yielded a total Faradaic efficiency (FE) > 75% for C2+ products. Parasitic hydrogen evolution was minimized to a FE of ∼10%, and a selectivity of 42.2% FE for C2H4 was demonstrated. Compared to a line-of-sight physical vapor deposition method, PEALD Cu catalysts show significant suppression of C1 products compared to C2+, which is associated with improved control of catalyst morphology and conformality within the porous GDE substrate. Finally, PEALD Cu catalysts demonstrated a stable performance for 15 h with minimal reduction in the C2H4 production rate.

Abstract
Electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (CO2 RR) to value-added chemicals/fuels is an effective strategy to achieve the carbon neutral. Palladium is the only metal to selectively produce formate via CO2 RR at near-zero potentials. To reduce cost and improve activity, the high-dispersive Pd nanoparticles on hierarchical N-doped carbon nanocages (Pd/hNCNCs) are constructed by regulating pH in microwave-assisted ethylene glycol reduction. The optimal catalyst exhibits high formate Faradaic efficiency of >95% within -0.05-0.30 V and delivers an ultrahigh formate partial current density of 10.3 mA cm-2 at the low potential of -0.25 V. The high performance of Pd/hNCNCs is attributed to the small size of uniform Pd nanoparticles, the optimized intermediates adsorption/desorption on modified Pd by N-doped support, and the promoted mass/charge transfer kinetics arising from the hierarchical structure of hNCNCs. This study sheds light on the rational design of high-efficient electrocatalysts for advanced energy conversion.

Abstract
Formate, as an important chemical raw material, is considered to be one of the most promising products for industrialization among CO2 electroreduction reaction (CO2RR) products, but it still suffers from poor selectivity and a low formation rate at a high current density on account of the competitory hydrogen evolution reaction. Herein, the heterogeneous nanostructure was constructed by anchoring In2O3 nanoparticles on poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT)-modified carbon black (In2O3/PC), in which the PEDOT polymer interface layer could immobilize In2O3 nanoparticles and obtain a notable reduction in electron transfer resistance among the In2O3 particles, showing a 27% increase in the total electron transfer rate. The optimized In2O3/PC with rich heterogeneous interfaces selectively reduced CO2 to formate with a high FE of 95.4% and a current density of 251.4 mA cm-2 under -1.18 V vs RHE. Also, the formate production rate for In2O3/PC was up to 7025.1 μmol h-1 cm-2, surpassing most previously reported CO2RR catalysts. The in situ XRD results revealed that In2O3 particles were reduced to metallic indium (In) as catalytic active sites during CO2RR. DFT calculations verified that a strong interface interaction between In sites and PC induced electron transfer from In sites to PC, which could optimize the charge distribution of active sites, accelerate electron transfer, and elevate the p-band center of In sites toward the Fermi level, thereby lowering the adsorption energy of *OCHO intermediates for CO2 conversion to formate.

Abstract
Electrocatalytic reduction of carbon dioxide into value-added chemical fuels is a promising way to achieve carbon neutrality. Bismuth-based materials have been considered as favorable electrocatalysts for converting carbon dioxide to formic acid. Moreover, size-dependent catalysis offers significant advantages in catalyzed heterogeneous chemical processes. However, the size effects of bismuth nanoparticles on formic acid production have not been fully explored. Here, we prepared Bi nanoparticles uniformly supported on porous TiO2 substrate electrocatalytic materials by in situ segregation of the Bi element from Bi4Ti3O12. The Bi-TiO2 electrocatalyst with Bi nanoparticles of 2.83 nm displays a Faradaic efficiency of greater than 90% over a wide potential range of 400 mV. Theoretical calculations have also demonstrated subtle electronic structural evolutions induced by the size variations of Bi nanoparticles, where the 2.83 nm Bi nanoparticles display the most active p-band and d-band centers to guarantee high electroactivity toward CO2RR.

Abstract
Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions are an important environmental issue that causes greenhouse and climate change effects on the earth. Nowadays, CO2 has various conversion methods to be a potential carbon resource, such as photocatalytic, electrocatalytic, and photo-electrocatalytic. CO2 conversion into value-added products has many advantages, including facile control of the reaction rate by adjusting the applied voltage and minimal environmental pollution. The development of efficient electrocatalysts and improving their viability with appropriate reactor designs is essential for the commercialization of this environmentally friendly method. In addition, microbial electrosynthesis which utilizes an electroactive bio-film electrode as a catalyst can be considered as another option to reduce CO2. This review highlights the methods which can contribute to the increase in efficiency of carbon dioxide reduction (CO2R) processes through electrode structure with the introduction of various electrolytes such as ionic liquid, sulfate, and bicarbonate electrolytes, with the control of pH and with the control of the operating pressure and temperature of the electrolyzer. It also presents the research status, a fundamental understanding of carbon dioxide reduction reaction (CO2RR) mechanisms, the development of electrochemical CO2R technologies, and challenges and opportunities for future research.

Abstract
Electrochemical CO2 reduction provides a potential means for synthesizing value-added chemicals over the near equilibrium potential regime, i.e., formate production on Pd-based catalysts. However, the activity of Pd catalysts has been largely plagued by the potential-depended deactivation pathways (e.g., [Formula: see text]-PdH to [Formula: see text]-PdH phase transition, CO poisoning), limiting the formate production to a narrow potential window of 0 V to -0.25 V vs. reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE). Herein, we discovered that the Pd surface capped with polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) ligand exhibits effective resistance to the potential-depended deactivations and can catalyze formate production at a much extended potential window (beyond -0.7 V vs. RHE) with significantly improved activity (~14-times enhancement at -0.4 V vs. RHE) compared to that of the pristine Pd surface. Combined results from physical and electrochemical characterizations, kinetic analysis, and first-principle simulations suggest that the PVP capping ligand can effectively stabilize the high-valence-state Pd species (Pdδ+) resulted from the catalyst synthesis and pretreatments, and these Pdδ+ species are responsible for the inhibited phase transition from [Formula: see text]-PdH to [Formula: see text]-PdH, and the suppression of CO and H2 formation. The present study confers a desired catalyst design principle, introducing positive charges into Pd-based electrocatalyst to enable efficient and stable CO2 to formate conversion.

Abstract
Rechargeable lithium-carbon dioxide (Li-CO2 ) batteries are promising devices for CO2 recycling and energy storage. However, thermodynamically stable and electrically insulating discharge products (DPs) (e.g., Li2 CO3 ) deposited at cathodes require rigorous conditions for completed decomposition, resulting in large recharge polarization and poor battery reversibility. Although progress has been achieved in cathode design and electrolyte optimization, the significance of DPs is generally underestimated. Therefore, it is necessary to revisit the role of DPs in Li-CO2 batteries to boost overall battery performance. Here, a critical and systematic review of DPs in Li-CO2 batteries is reported for the first time. Fundamentals of reactions for formation and decomposition of DPs are appraised; impacts on battery performance including overpotential, capacity, and stability are demonstrated; and the necessity of discharge product management is highlighted. Practical in situ/operando technologies are assessed to characterize reaction intermediates and the corresponding DPs for mechanism investigation. Additionally, achievable control measures to boost the decomposition of DPs are evidenced to provide battery design principles and improve the battery performance. Findings from this work will deepen the understanding of electrochemistry of Li-CO2 batteries and promote practical applications.

Abstract
Future renewable energy supply and a cleaner Earth greatly depend on various crucial catalytic reactions for the society. Atomically dispersed metal site electrocatalysts (ADMSEs) have attracted tremendous research interest and are considered as the next-generation promising oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) electrocatalysts due to the maximum atom utilization efficiency, tailorable catalytic sites, and tunable electronic structures. Despite great efforts have been devoted to the development of ADMSEs, the systematic summary for design principles of high-efficiency ADMSEs is not sufficiently highlighted for ORR. In this review, the authors first summarize the fundamental ORR mechanisms for ADMSEs, and further discuss the intrinsic catalytic mechanism from the perspective of theoretical calculation. Then, the advanced characterization techniques to identify the active sites and effective synthesis methods to prepare catalysts for ADMSEs are also showcased. Subsequently, a special emphasis is placed on effective strategies for the rational design of the advanced ADMSEs. Finally, the present challenges to be addressed in practical application and future research directions are also proposed to overcome the relevant obstacles for developing high-efficiency ORR electrocatalysts. This review aims to provide a deeper understanding for catalytic mechanisms and valuable design principles to obtain the advanced ADMSEs for sustainable energy conversion and storage techniques.

Abstract
Transition metal-based single-atom catalysts (TM-SACs) are promising alternatives to Au- and Ag-based electrocatalysts for CO production through CO2 reduction reaction. However, developing TM-SACs with high activity and selectivity at low overpotentials is challenging. Herein, a novel Fe-based SAC with Si doping (Fe-N-C-Si) was prepared, which shows a record-high electrocatalytic performance toward the CO2-to-CO conversion with exceptional current density (>350.0 mA cm-2) and ~100% Faradaic efficiency (FE) at the overpotential of <400 mV, far superior to the reported Fe-based SACs. Further assembling Fe-N-C-Si as the cathode in a rechargeable Zn-CO2 battery delivers an outstanding performance with a maximal power density of 2.44 mW cm-2 at an output voltage of 0.30 V, as well as high cycling stability and FE (>90%) for CO production. Experimental combined with theoretical analysis unraveled that the nearby Si dopants in the form of Si-C/N bonds modulate the electronic structure of the atomic Fe sites in Fe-N-C-Si to markedly accelerate the key pathway involving *CO intermediate desorption, inhibiting the poisoning of the Fe sites under high CO coverage and thus boosting the CO2RR performance. This work provides an efficient strategy to tune the adsorption/desorption behaviors of intermediates on single-atom sites to improve their electrocatalytic performance.

Abstract
The electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) is a promising strategy to alleviate excessive CO2 levels in the atmosphere and produce value-added feedstocks and fuels. However, the synthesis of high-efficiency and robust electrocatalysts remains a great challenge. This work reports the green preparation of surface-oxygen-rich carbon-nanorod-supported bismuth nanoparticles (SOR Bi@C NPs) for an efficient CO2RR toward formate. The resultant SOR Bi@C NPs catalyst displays a Faradaic efficiency of more than 91% for formate generation over a wide potential range of 440 mV. Ex situ XPS and XANES and in situ Raman spectroscopy demonstrate that the Bi-O/Bi (110) structure in the pristine SOR Bi@C NPs can remain stable during the CO2RR process. DFT calculations reveal that the Bi-O/Bi (110) structure can facilitate the formation of the *OCHO intermediate. This work provides an approach to the development of high-efficiency Bi-based catalysts for the CO2RR and offers a unique insight into the exploration of advanced electrocatalysts.

Abstract
Converting CO2 into valuable C1 -C2 chemicals through electrochemical CO2 reduction (ECR) has potential to remedy the ever-increasing climate problems owing to the intensification of industrial activity. In this work, cradle-to-gate life cycle assessment (LCA) was performed to quantify the environmental impacts of formic acid (FA) and ethylene production through ECR benchmarked with the conventional processes. At the midpoint level, global warming potential (GWP) effects of FA and ethylene production through ECR recorded 5.6 and 1.6-times that of the conventional process, respectively. Although ECR currently has limited environmental benefits, the incorporation of hydropower has vast potential after evaluating four sustainable electricity sources, namely hydropower, wind, solar, and biomass. Notably, ECR to FA recorded a 24 % reduction in petrochemical usage. For ethylene production, human health damage, ecosystem damage, and petrochemical use were reduced by 67, 94, and 110 %, respectively. Sensitivity analysis indicated that a sustainable energy supply chain for ECR will accelerate the development of a circular economy.

Abstract
Electrochemical reduction of CO2 into liquid fuels is a promising approach to achieving a carbon-neutral energy cycle but remains a great challenge due to the lack of efficient catalysts. Here, the hierarchical architectures assembled by ultrathin and porous S-modified Cu nanoflakes (Cu-S NFs) are designed and constructed as an efficient electrocatalyst for CO2 conversion to formate with high partial current density. Specifically, when integrated into a gas diffusion electrode in a flow cell, Cu-S NFs are capable of delivering the ultrahigh formate current density up to 404.1 mA cm-2 with a selectivity of 89.8%. Electrochemical tests and theoretical calculations indicate that the superior performance of the designed catalysts may be attributed to the unique structure, which can provide abundant active sites, fast charge transfer, and highly active edge sites.

Abstract
Metal nanoparticles stabilized by crystalline metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are highly promising for green heterogeneous catalysis. In this work, in situ formed ultrafine Pd nanocatalysts with an average size of 3.14 nm have been successfully immobilized into the mesopores or defects of a water-stable indium-based MOF by the double-solvent method and subsequent reduction. Significantly, the obtained Pd@InOF-1 displays an obvious and satisfactory size-selective effect in the Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reaction between arylboronic acids and aryl bromides. On the basis of the synergistic effect, microporous InOF-1 nanorods afford a confined space for improving the selectivity of target products while Pd nanoparticles endow abundant active sites for catalysis. Herein, choosing the smallest size reactant with only one benzene ring gives the highest isolated yield of 90%, and if the size is larger, the yield is obviously reduced or even the target product could not be collected. Looking forward, this demonstrated study not only assembles a well-designed Pd@MOF composite with unique micro-nanostructures but also delivers an impressive option for cross-coupling reaction, which has implications for the further development of MOF hybrids for sustainable applications.

Abstract
Electrochemical conversion of CO2 to fuels and chemicals as a sustainable solution for waste transformation has garnered tremendous interest to combat the fervent issue of the prevailing high atmospheric CO2 concentration while contributing to the generation of sustainable energy. Monometallic palladium (Pd) has been shown promising in electrochemical CO2 reduction, producing formate or CO depending on applied potentials. Recently, bimetallic Pd-based materials strived to fine-tune the binding affinity of key intermediates is a prominent strategy for the desired product formation from CO2 reduction. Herein, the recent emerging trends on bimetallic Pd-based electrocatalysts are reviewed, including fundamentals of CO2 electroreduction and material engineering of bimetallic Pd-electrocatalysts categorized by primary products. Modern analytical techniques on these novel electrocatalysts are also thoroughly studied to get insights into reaction mechanisms. Lastly, we deliberate over the challenges and prospects for Pd-based catalysts for electrochemical CO2 conversion.

Abstract
Carbon dioxide (CO2) electroreduction can offer a way of relieving environmental and energy issues. Gold and silver catalysts show considerable electrochemical performance for CO production; however, the electrochemical CO2 conversion to CO is still restricted by the Faradaic efficiency, current density, and stability over the catalysts. Non-noble metal (zinc) is considered as a promising catalyst for CO2 electroreduction because of its low cost. However, because of the electron-rich property of zinc, it has a weak adsorption capacity of intermediates, resulting in a poor CO2 electroreduction performance. In this work, ZnS nanoparticles are embedded onto the ZnO surface to construct a stable ZnS/ZnO interface structure. The ZnS/ZnO interface reaches a maximum current density of 327.2 ± 10.6 mA cm-2 with a CO Faradaic efficiency of 91.9 ± 0.6% at -0.73 V vs a reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE) and remains stable for 40 h at a current density of 115.7 ± 7.0 mA cm-2 with a CO Faradaic efficiency of 93.8 ± 3.7% at -0.56 V vs RHE.

Abstract
The electrochemical CO2 reduction into formate acid over Pd-based catalysts under a wide potential window is a challenging task; CO poisoning commonly occurring on the vulnerable surface of Pd must be overcome. Herein, we designed a two-dimensional (2D) AuNP-in-PdNS electrocatalyst, in which the Au nanoparticles are intercalated in Pd nanosheets, for formate production under a wide potential window from -0.1 to -0.7 V versus a reversible hydrogen electrode. Based on the X-ray absorption spectra (XAS) characterizations, CO accumulation detection, and CO stripping voltammetry measurements, we observed that the intercalated Au nanoparticles could effectively avoid the CO formation and boost the formate production on the Pd nanosheet surface by regulating its electronic structure.

Electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2) to formate is a viable way to reduce CO2 emissions and realize a carbon-neutral energy cycle. Although Pd can convert CO2 to formate with a high Faradaic efficiency at minimal overpotentials, it suffers from a limited and narrow potential window. Alloying is an important strategy for the catalyst design and tuning the electronic structures. Here, we report a series of PdCu bimetallic alloy catalysts with tunable compositions based on dendritic architectures. Optimal introduction of Cu atoms into the Pd matrix facilitates formate production and suppresses CO generation. In 0.1 M KHCO3 aqueous solution, our best candidate, Pd82Cu18 catalyst, delivered a high formate Faradaic efficiency of 96.0% at -0.3 V versus RHE. More interestingly, the high selectivity (>90%) toward formate maintained an enlarged electrochemical potential window of 600 mV. The ensemble effect with electronic coupling between Pd and Cu upon alloying and its induced moderate surface O-containing configuration were found to enhance the formate formation and suppress CO poisoning during CO2 reduction.

Abstract
Strain engineering in bimetallic alloy structures is of great interest in electrochemical CO2 reduction reactions (CO2RR), in which it simultaneously improves electrocatalytic activity and product selectivity by optimizing the binding properties of intermediates. However, a reliable synthetic strategy and systematic understanding of the strain effects in the CO2RR are still lacking. Herein, we report a strain relaxation strategy used to determine lattice strains in bimetal MNi alloys (M = Pd, Ag, and Au) and realize an outstanding CO2-to-CO Faradaic efficiency of 96.6% and show the outstanding activity and durability toward a Zn-CO2 battery. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations predict that the relaxation of strained PdNi alloys (s-PdNi) is correlated with increases in synthesis temperature, and the high temperature activation energy drives complete atomic mixing of multiple metal atoms to allow for regulation of lattice strains. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal that strain relaxation effectively improves CO2RR activity and selectivity by optimizing the formation energies of *COOH and *CO intermediates on s-PdNi alloy surfaces, as also verified by in situ spectroscopic investigations. This approach provides a promising approach for catalyst design, enabling independent optimization of formation energies of reaction intermediates to improve catalytic activity and selectivity simultaneously.
