Abstract

To regulate the electronic structure of Bi sites and enhance their intrinsic activity, metal Bi with abundant defects was constructed. The optimized sample displayed a higher selectivity (93.9% at -0.9 V) and a larger current density (-10 mA cm-2 at -1.0 V) towards electrocatalytic CO2 reduction to formate, which can be mainly attributed to abundant defect sites and the optimized electronic structure. The assembled Zn-CO2 batteries displayed a power density of 1.16 mW cm-2 and a cycling stability up to 22 h. This work deepens the research of Bi-based catalysts towards CO2 transformation and related energy devices.
