CO2 reduction (CO2R) powered
by renewable energy to convert CO2 molecules into formate
is of great interest. It is still challenging to develop an efficient
CO2R catalyst with high selectivity. Herein, we adjust
the adsorption states of CO2– intermediates
to improve the selectivity of CO2 toward formate by doping
S to Cu-based electrocatalysts. It can be found that S doping could
stabilize the reductive-state Cu as the active site for CO2R. The vibration models of CO2– intermediates
within in situ Raman spectroscopy reveal that the selectivity improvement
is ascribed to the change of the adsorption state from coexisting
O*CO– and OC*O*– to the dominating
OC*O*–. The electrocatalyst manifests high selectivity
and activity toward formate (maximum Faradaic efficiency as high as
76.5% and maximum partial current density 21.06 mA cm–2).
