Iron- and nitrogen-doped carbon materials (FeNC) are excellent catalysts for CO2 electroreduction to CO. Current density and selectivity can be significantly improved by mixing FeNC with carbon materials such as carbon nanofibers.

Abstract Although Faraday efficiency (FE) for CO production of single-atom catalysts immobilized on nitrogen-doped carbon supports (M-N/C) for CO2 electrocatalytic reduction reaction (CO2RR) is generally over 90%, M-N/C catalysts demonstrate a poor reaction current density, much worse than the current density of industrial level. Herein, we first report a generalized strategy of amino-functionalized carbon supports to regulate electronic structure of M-N/C catalysts (M=Ni, Fe, Zn) to significantly increase current density of CO production. The aminated Ni single-atom catalyst achieves a remarkable CO partial current density of 447.6 mA cm-2 (a total current density over 500 mA cm-2) with a nearly 90% CO FE at a moderate overpotential of 0.89 V, and especially CO FE can be maintained over 85% in a wide operating potential range from -0.5 V to -1.0 V. DFT calculations and experimental researches demonstrate that the superior activity is attributed to enhanced adsorption energies of CO2* and COOH* intermediates caused by the change of electronic structure of aminated catalysts. This work provides an ingenious method for significantly increasing current density at industrial-relevant level of single-atom catalysts for CO2RR.

Nitrogen-coordinated single-atom manganese in multi-dimensional nitrogen-doped carbon electrocatalysts (Mn-NC) was successful constructed by combing two-dimensional nanosheets and one-dimensional nanofibers. The Mn-NC exhibited excellent oxygen reduction reaction catalytic activity with half-wave...
