This invention discloses a
sulfur-
iodine co-modified
bismuth subcarbonate catalyst, its preparation method, and its application, belonging to the field of electrocatalytic reduction technology. The
sulfur-
iodine co-modified
bismuth subcarbonate catalyst is a Bi₂O₂CO₃ phase, composed of Bi... 13 S 18 The I2
nanosheet precursor was reconstructed in situ into a
sulfur- and
iodine-modified
bismuth subcarbonate
nanosheet structure under near-neutral CO2 electroreduction conditions, while retaining S on its surface and / or between
layers. 2‑ and I ‑ Thus retaining Bi 3+ Simultaneous oxidation of the
bismuth subcarbonate catalyst enables synergistic regulation of surface anions, constructing an active interface with abundant nanoscale pits and a high specific surface area. This invention employs a simple and mild process, and the resulting sulfur-iodine co-modified
bismuth subcarbonate catalyst exhibits excellent performance in the electrocatalytic reduction of
carbon dioxide to
formate, achieving up to 1000 mA cm⁻¹. ‑2 It maintains high
formate Faraday efficiency over a wide
current density range and achieves long-term stable operation in membrane
electrode systems, demonstrating good prospects for practical applications.
