Boosting Formate Production from CO2 at High Current Densities Over a Wide Electrochemical Potential Window on a SnS Catalyst.


ABSTRACT: The flow-cell design offers prospect for transition to commercial-relevant high current density CO2 electrolysis. However, it remains to understand the fundamental interplay between the catalyst, and the electrolyte in such configuration toward CO2 reduction performance. Herein, the dramatic influence of electrolyte alkalinity in widening potential window for CO2 electroreduction in a flow-cell system based on SnS nanosheets is reported. The optimized SnS catalyst operated in 1 m KOH achieves a maximum formate Faradaic efficiency of 88 ± 2% at -1.3 V vs reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE) with the current density of ≈120 mA cm-2 . Alkaline electrolyte is found suppressing the hydrogen evolution across all potentials which is particularly dominant
