Abstract
The existing Cu-based electrocatalysts for electrochemical reduction of CO 2 to chemical commodities suffer instability and large reaction overpotentials. Here we report a novel Cu nanoflower (NF) catalyst with a unique 3D chrysanthemum-like structure. Derived from CuO NFs, the Cu NFs were found to efficiently catalyze the CO 2 reduction with 400 mV lower overpotential than polycrystalline Cu. Besides, H 2 production was suppressed to be below 25% in terms of Faradaic efficiency in a wide potential window, implying an excellent catalytic selectivity. Prolonged electrolysis showed that the Cu NFs kept a high catalytic activity towards CO 2 reduction for over 9 h. In addition, for the first time, the deposition of amorphous carbon on the electrodes after catalysis was directly observed in this study. The reaction pathways of electrocatalytic CO 2 reduction and the involvement of the surface carbon in this process were elucidated.
