Abstract
Electrochemical carbon monoxide reduction reaction (CORR) is a potential way to obtain high-value multi-carbon (C2+ ) products. However, achieving high selectivity to acetate is still a challenge. Herein, we develop a two-dimensional Ag-modified Cu metal-organic framework (Ag0.10 @CuMOF-74) that demonstrates Faradaic efficiency (FE) for C2+ products up to 90.4 % at 200 mA cm-2 and an acetate FE of 61.1 % with a partial current density of 122.2 mA cm-2 . Detailed investigations show that the introduction of Ag on CuMOF-74 favors the generation of abundant Cu-Ag interface sites. In situ attenuated total reflection surface enhanced infrared absorption spectroscopy confirms that these Cu-Ag interface sites improve the coverage of *CO and *CHO and the coupling between each other and stabilize key intermediates *OCCHO and *OCCH2 , thus significantly promoting to the acetate selectivity on Ag0.10 @CuMOF-74. This work provides a high-efficiency pathway for CORR to C2+ products.
