The electrochemical CO reduction into formate acid over Pd-based catalysts under a wide potential window is a challenging task; CO poisoning commonly occurring on the vulnerable surface of Pd must be overcome. Herein, we designed a two-dimensional (2D) AuNP-in-PdNS electrocatalyst, in which the Au nanoparticles are intercalated in Pd nanosheets, for formate production under a wide potential window from -0.1 to -0.7 V versus a reversible hydrogen electrode. Based on the X-ray absorption spectra (XAS) characterizations, CO accumulation detection, and CO stripping voltammetry measurements, we observed that the intercalated Au nanoparticles could effectively avoid the CO formation and boost the formate production on the Pd nanosheet surface by regulating its electronic structure.

CO hydrogenation to methanol using green hydrogen derived from renewable resources provides a promising method for sustainable carbon cycle but suffers from high selectivity towards byproduct CO. Here, we develop an efficient PdZn-ZnO/TiO catalyst by engineering lattice dislocation structures of TiO support. We discover that this modification orders irregularly arranged atoms in TiO to stabilize crystal lattice, and consequently weakens electronic interactions with supported active phases.

The electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide (CORR) offers potential for sustainable production and greenhouse gas mitigation, particularly with renewable energy integration. However, its widespread application is hindered by expensive catalysts, low selectivity, and limited current density. This study addresses these challenges by developing a low-mass-loading two-dimensional (2D) BiOSe catalyst chemical vapor deposition (CVD).

Electrocatalytic urea synthesis from carbon dioxide (CO2) and nitrate (NO3-) offers a promising alternative to traditional industrial methods. However, current catalysts face limitations in the supplies of CO* and Nrelated* intermediates, and their coupling, resulting in unsatisfactory urea production efficiency and energy consumption. To overcome these challenges, we carried out tandem electrosynthesis approach using ruthenium dioxide-supported palladium-gold alloys (Pd2Au1/RuO2).
