Quantitative Electro-Reduction of CO₂ to Liquid Fuel over Electro-Synthesized Metal-Organic Frameworks.

ABSTRACT: Efficient electro-reduction of CO₂ over metal-organic framework (MOF) materials is hindered by the poor contact between thermally synthesized MOF particles and the electrode surface, which leads to low Faradaic efficiency for a given product and poor electrochemical stability of the catalyst. We report a MOF-based electrode prepared via electro-synthesis of MFM-300(In) on an indium foil, and its activity for the electrochemical reduction of CO₂ is assessed. The resultant MFM-300(In)-e/In electrode shows a 1 order of magnitude improvement in conductivity compared with that for MFM-300(In)/carbon-paper electrodes. MFM-300(In)-e/In exhibits a current density of 46.1 mA cm^-2 at an applied potential of -2.15 V vs Ag/Ag⁺ for the electro-reduction of CO
