摘要

Converting CO2 into valuable chemicals is a sustainable way to address the energy and environmental crisis, yet achieving high selectivity toward CO remains challenging. Here, a S-doped copper-bismuth oxide (S-CuBiOx) catalyst with a hierarchical structure was synthesized via a facile solution method toward selectively producing CO from CO2. The prepared S-CuBiOx exhibits a 91.3% CO Faradic efficiency at −0.9 VRHE in an H-type cell with 0.5 M KHCO3 solution, delivering a 3.8-fold enhancement compared to the undoped CuBiOx, while decreasing the H2 and HCOOH by-products to 2.6% and 4.5%, respectively. The doped-S can be responsible for the excellent CO selectivity, namely, the S dopant induces S-M-O (M = Cu or Bi) bond formation and tunes the local electronic structure of S-CuBiOx, thus benefiting *COOH formation/stabilization and accelerating the reaction kinetics toward CO. This work provides a rational design strategy for steering CO2RR selectivity toward CO via non-metal heteroatom doping in bimetallic oxide systems.
