Atomically Dispersed Scandium in Cuprous Oxide Weakens *CO Adsorption to Boost Carbon Dioxide Electroreduction Toward C2 Products
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract Copper (Cu) is a promising metal for electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (eCO2RR) to value‐added C2 products. However, as the key intermediate for C─C coupling to form C2 products, *CO intermediate is difficult to adsorb on the Cu surface on a moderate level. Rare earth elements possess a distinctive electronic structure that effectively regulates the local density of surrounding atoms, yet has rarely been investigated. Herein, different rare earth metals are screened doping Cu2O and found that Sc atomically dispersed Cu2O can weaken the CO adsorption on the catalyst surface and lower the energy barrier of the C─C coupling step through in situ ATR‐SEIRAS and DFT calculations. Therefore, the as‐prepared Sc0.09‐Cu2O catalyst presents improved eCO2RR to C2 product performance with a faradic efficiency of 71.9% at a current density of 600 mA cm−2.
