Abstract

Abstract:

The electrocatalytic carbon dioxide (CO₂) reduction has gained recognition as an outstanding approach for transforming CO₂ into renewable energy products. To accomplish this reduction reaction, the development of efficient electrocatalysts is required. Nickel-based electrocatalysts have been extensively investigated for CO₂ reduction; however, nickel nanoparticles (Ni_NPs) have demonstrated limited catalytic performance. In this study, Ni_NPs implanted in N-doped porous carbon (Ni_NPs-NC) were prepared by thermal treatment of nickel metal-organic framework, urea, and carbon black under an N₂ atmosphere. The Ni_NPs-NC exhibited high catalytic performance for the electroreduction of CO₂ to CO in both H-type and flow cells. In the H-type cell, the CO faradaic efficiencies (FEs) of Ni_NPs-NC exceeded 90% in the potential window from −0.67 to −1.07 V vs. reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE), reaching a maximum CO FE of approximately 100% at −0.87 V vs. RHE. In the flow cell, the CO selectivities of Ni_NPs-NC exceeded 95% in the potential window from −0.50 to −0.70 V vs. RHE. The fast charge transfer, as demonstrated by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and Tafel slope, can be attributed to the high catalytic activity of Ni_NPs-NC. This study provides a simple method to develop highly efficient catalysts for electrocatalytic CO₂ reduction.
