摘要 Sn-based materials are identified as promising catalysts for the CO2 electroreduction (CO2RR) to formate (HCOO−). However, their insufficient selectivity and activity remain grand challenges. A new type of SnO2 nanosheet with simultaneous N dopants and oxygen vacancies (VO-rich N-SnO2 NS) for promoting CO2 conversion to HCOO− is reported. Due to the likely synergistic effect of N dopant and VO, the VO-rich N-SnO2 NS exhibits high catalytic selectivity featured by an HCOO− Faradaic efficiency (FE) of 83% at −0.9 V and an FE of > 90% for all C1 products (HCOO− and CO) at a wide potential range from −0.9 to −1.2 V. Low coordination Sn–N moieties are the active sites with optimal electronic and geometric structures regulated by VO and N dopants. Theoretical calculations elucidate that the reaction free energy of HCOO* protonation is decreased on the VO-rich N-SnO2 NS, thus enhancing HCOO− selectivity. The weakened H* adsorption energy also inhibits the hydrogen evolution reaction, a dominant side reaction during the CO2RR. Furthermore, using the catalyst as the cathode, a spontaneous Galvanic Zn-CO2 cell and a solar-powered electrolysis process successfully demonstrated the efficient HCOO− generation through CO2 conversion and storage.
