Abstract

The invention provides a method for improving electrode catalytic activity of carbon dioxide for electrochemical reduction. The method is characterized in that surface modification is performed on electrode materials by a surface modification agent, the surface modification agent is an ester compound containing carbonyl group which has the capacity of adsorbing and capturing CO2 and changes the adsorption and desorption strength of electrode surfaces on reaction intermediate products, by means of the electrode treated by the surface modification agent, the generation rate of the target productof ERC reaction can be increased, the restriction of CO2 mass transfer polarization is alleviated, meanwhile, the generation rate of competitive hydrogen dissociation side reaction is reduced, and then the selectivity of the target product of the ERC reaction is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of carbon dioxide electrochemical reduction, in particular to a method for improving the catalytic activity of an electrode. Background technique [0002] Electrochemical reduction of CO 2 (ERC) technology is the use of electricity to convert CO 2 Reduction to the target product to achieve CO 2 A technology for transformation and efficient use. Since ERC technology can use water as the source of protonated hydrogen, CO2 can be realized at normal temperature and pressure. 2 The high-efficiency transformation has the advantages of simple operation and low cost. [0003] At present, the main factors for the slow development of ERC technology include: (1) high reaction overpotential; (2) low catalytic activity and slow reaction rate; (3) poor selectivity of target products. In the ERC reaction system with an aqueous solution as the supporting electrolyte, flat metals (such as sheets, foils, and blocks) are ...
