Abstract:

Rational design of efficient electrocatalysts is critical for electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2ER) to high value-added chemicals and fuels. Herein, a hydrothermal-calcination method was developed to prepare flower-like SnS catalyst confined by nitrogen-doped carbon (SnS@NC) and the CO2ER performance of SnS@NC was studied. Based on the confinement effect of the ultra-thin nitrogen-doped carbon layer, the layer thickness of SnS nanosheet was reduced from the original 30nm to 20nm, and the electrochemically active area was significantly increased. At the same time, the nitrogen-doped carbon layer could enhance the adsorption and activation of CO2. As a result, the CO2-to-HCOOH conversion over SnS@NC was significantly enhanced. The SnS@NC provided an HCOOH Faraday efficiency of 81.2% at -1.3V(vs. RHE), and a current density up to 29.5mA/cm2 in the H-type electrolytic cell. This work could provide a novel strategy for the functionalization of metal-sulfide based catalysts.

摘要:

合理设计高效的电催化剂是二氧化碳电化学还原(CO2ER)为高附加值化学品和燃料的关键。本文利用水热-煅烧法制备了氮掺杂碳限域的花状SnS催化剂(SnS@NC)并研究了其电催化CO2的特性。基于超薄氮掺杂碳层的限域效应,SnS的层厚由原始的30nm缩减至20nm,电化学活性面积明显增强,同时氮掺杂碳层增强了对CO2的吸附和活化。SnS@NC催化CO2转化为甲酸的能力明显增强,在-1.3V(vs. RHE)的H型电解池中法拉第效率为81.2%,电流密度为29.5mA/cm2,本文为金属硫化物复合催化剂功能化提供了新策略。
