Solar-driven CO2 conversion to chemical fuels in an aqueous solution is restricted not only by photocatalysts but also mass transfer. Here, a regulatable three-phase interface on porous fixed-bed constructed for efficient C–C coupling photocatalytic reduction. The results show that ∼90% selectivity towards C2+ products obtained Cu/Cd0.5Zn0.5S photocatalyst, with yield of 6.54 μmol/h (an irradiation area 0.785 cm2), while 0.94 19.625 cm2) achieved commonly used suspension reactor. We find...
Abstract Controlling the concentrations of H 2 O and CO at reaction interface is crucial for achieving efficient electrochemical reduction. However, precise control these variables during catalysis remains challenging, underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. Herein, guided by a multi-physics model, we demonstrate that tuning local O/CO achievable thin polymer coatings on catalyst surface.

Indium-based oxides are promising electrocatalysts for producing formate via CO2 reduction reaction, in which *OCHO is considered the key intermediate. Here, we identified that *COOH pathway could be preferential to produce on In2O3 of In/In2O3 heterojunction due synergistic effect oxygen species and vacancy.

If combined with renewably generated electricity, electrochemical CO2 reduction (E-CO2R) could be used as a sustainable source of chemicals and fuels. Tandem catalysis approaches are attractive for providing the product selectivity, which would required commercial applications.

Abstract Electrocatalysts based on high‐valent indium are promising for formate production via CO 2 electroreduction. However, reconstruction often occurs during the reaction progress, resulting in a decline catalytic performance.

Accelerating electrocatalytic water splitting via hydrogen spillover has received increasing attention. However, the underlying mechanism of on evolution is still ambiguous. Herein, a simulation study was carried out to determine role in pH- and potential-dependent over NiCu bimetal catalyst. It found that current density most prominently improved by neutral condition at −0.35 −0.2 V vs reversible electrode. By parameter study, it indicated potential pH could improve effect altering surface...
