Abstract
AbstractIn this paper, Bi2O3 electrocatalysts for the electroreduction of CO2 to formate were synthesized with different morphologies, including nanoparticles and thin nanorods. Comparatively, Bi2O3 nanoparticles have higher catalytic activity than Bi2O3 thin nanorods. The Faradaic efficiency of formate formation at a moderate potential of −1.2 vs. RHE in aqueous solution could reach 91 %. In addition, a maximum current density for formate production of up to 22 mA cm−2 was achieved, which is almost 3 times higher than that of Bi2O3 thin nanorods. In particular, the catalytic activity of the Bi2O3 nanoparticle catalyst was almost stable over a 23‐hour period of electrolysis, exhibiting its application prospect in the electroreduction of CO2 to formate.
