Abstract:

Electroreduction of CO to generate fuels and chemicals containing multiple carbon-atoms holds significant potential for sustainable chemical production and intermittent energy storage. Regulating the atomic-structure of catalytic-sites during the CO reduction is critical for achieving enhanced catalytic performance towards the desired products. Here, we introduce Pb, a metal with a vastly different in atomic-size and immiscible with Cu, to form the Cu[sbnd]Pb interface during CO reduction. The incorporation of Pb with precisely controlled size/morphology proves effective in forming the desired Cu[sbnd]Pb heterostructure. Consequently, the CuPb catalyst composite achieves a remarkably high Faradaic efficiency exceeding 45 % for ethanol at −0.71 V versus the reversible hydrogen electrode, with a practical relevant ethanol partial current density of over 220 mA cm−2. In contrast, the pristine Cu only exhibits a low selectivity of approximately 20 % towards ethanol under identical conditions. Detailed kinetic analysis, in-situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy, attenuated total reflectance infrared absorption spectroscopy, CO/Ar co-feeding and CO stripping assessments suggest that the formation of Cu[sbnd]Pb interface substantially reduces the CO binding affinity on Cu-catalytic sites, consequently stirring the CO reduction pathway towards ethanol rather than ethylene. Our work showcases an effective approach for steering the product selectivity between ethylene and ethanol during electroreduction of CO. © 2025 Elsevier B.V.
