Abstract Several catalyst materials composed of tin oxide composites (SnO x ) with a novel coralline structure are synthesized by using facile hydrothermal self‐assembly process. The catalysts then used to prepare SnO /GDL (gas diffusion layer) electrode for CO 2 electroreduction formate in 0.5 m KHCO 3 aqueous solution. Influential factors, such as synthesis temperature ( T )/time (Δ t and the valence state Sn nanocatalysts, on both catalysts’ morphologies, Faradaic efficiency production...
