Problems solved by technology

However, this preparation method is more complicated, and the performance of the electrode is lower (Faraday efficiency is less than 60%)
In addition, the above-mentioned electrodes mainly prepare Sn catalysts on tin foil and glassy carbon electrodes by various methods. In the actual application process, the prepared catalysts need to be scraped off the electrodes, and then coated on the surface of the carbon substrate with a binder. , resulting in a cumbersome electrode fabrication process, and the preparation of the catalyst due to the coating of the binder, the activity specific surface area decreases, resulting in a decrease in activity
In addition, the Sn-based catalyst is easily decomposed and poisoned during the long-term electrolysis process, which reduces the performance of the electrode.

Abstract

The invention relates to a gas diffusion electrode for electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide and its preparation and application. The electrode includes a base layer, a mixed layer of Sn catalyst and organic auxiliary agent attached to the base layer, and the molar ratio of the Sn catalyst and the organic auxiliary agent. 100:1‑30:1, the loading amount of Sn catalyst in the electrode is 0.1mg / cm ‑2 -5 mg / cm ‑2 . During the electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide, the substrate layer plays the role of support, conducts electricity, and forms liquid and gas transport channels, the Sn catalyst catalyzes the reduction of carbon dioxide, and the organic additive can stabilize the intermediate reactant CO 2 · ‑ , improve CO 2 concentration, thereby reducing the overpotential of the electrochemical reaction of carbon dioxide and increasing its current density and efficiency. In addition, the additives in the electrode also anchor the Sn catalyst on the surface of the carbon substrate, and the electrode has high stability.
