Abstract

Abstract : Nanoporous Cu/Ni oxide composites can improve CO2 reduction activity for producing formic acid in an aqueous electrolyte with a low overpotential. Abstract : We developed a route to prepare nanoporous Cu/Ni oxide composites. It was discovered that the Cu/Ni oxide composites were very efficient electrocatalysts for CO2 reduction to formate in aqueous electrolytes. The excellent performance resulted mainly from the porous structure, synergistic effect of the two oxides, and low charge transfer resistance.
