Correlating the crystal structure and facet of indium oxides with their activities for CO₂ electroreduction.

ABSTRACT: Constructing structure-function relationships is critical for the rational design and development of efficient catalysts for CO₂ electroreduction reaction (CO₂RR). In₂O₃ is well-known for its specific ability to produce formic acid. However, how the crystal phase and surface affect the CO₂RR activity is still unclear, making it difficult to further improve the intrinsic activity and screen for the most active structure. In this work, cubic and hexagonal In₂O₃ with different stable surfaces ((111) and (110) for cubic, (120) and (104) for hexagonal) are investigated for CO₂RR. Theoretical results demonstrate that the adsorption of reactants on cubic In₂O₃ is stronger than that on hex
