Problems solved by technology

Although some catalysts have been able to obtain higher carbon dioxide reduction selectivity by adjusting the structure, morphology and composition of the catalyst, the high selectivity is very sensitive to the applied current and potential.
Due to high current density (>60mA cm -2 ) competition reaction hydrogen evolution reaction activity increases, the faradaic efficiency of formic acid is significantly reduced, thus making it difficult for the formation rate of formic acid to exceed 1000 μmol h -1 cm -2

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of electrocatalysis, in particular to a catalyst for producing formic acid by electroreducing carbon dioxide and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] Catalytic conversion of carbon dioxide into high value-added chemicals or fuels can not only turn waste into wealth, reduce carbon dioxide emissions, but also convert renewable energy into high energy density fuel storage, which has important practical significance. Electricity can be generated from renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power, and has the advantages of being clean, gentle, and sustainable. Therefore, the conversion of CO2 into important fuels or chemicals through electrochemical methods is one of the most attractive ways to realize resource utilization of CO2. [0003] By comparing the energy input cost and market price of different products (such as carbon monoxide, methane, formic acid, ethane, and ethylene) of electro...
