Formate is identified as economically viable chemical fuel from electrochemical carbon dioxide reduction. However, the selectivity of current catalysts toward formate is limited by the competitive reaction such as HER. Herein, we propose a CeO2 modification strategy to improve the selectivity of catalysts for formate through tuning of the *OCHO intermediate, which is important for formate production.

The CO 2 electrochemical reduction reactions (CO 2 ER) to produce high-value formate are crucial for closing the anthropogenic CO 2 cycle. Modulating the adsorption energy between *OCHO and Bi atoms in Bi-based catalysts could enhance both the activity and selectivity for formate formation. Here, a Bi/BiOBr nanosheet with highly dispersed Bi single atoms in intercalations was synthesized through NaBH 4 treatment of BiOBr, which retained the intercalated Bi atoms after electrolysis (Bi/BiOBr-D). The intercalated Bi atoms optimize the Bi-6p band center (0.016 eV) and charge distribution in Bi/BiOBr-D, enhancing the coupling between the O-2p orbitals of *OCHO and the Bi-6p orbitals as well as the electron transfer dynamics between Bi and the *OCHO intermediate, which improves the stability of the *OCHO intermediate during CO 2 ER. Further studies demonstrate that enhanced *OCHO adsorption reduces the Gibbs free energy barrier for the CO 2 →*OCHO process and suppressing the formation of the *H intermediate. Those advantages lead to high selectivity (FE of 96.83 %) in H-type cell, and excellent activity (j HCOO- of 815 mA/cm²) and productivity (15.22 mmol/h·cm²) in flow cell for formate production over Bi/BiOBr-D sample.

Formic acid (HCOOH) production from direct CO 2 electrolysis is suggested to be one of the most economically viable products. However, its commercial viability remains challenging in highly active and selective electrocatalysts. Here, we report that palladium (Pd) doping has a profound positive impact on the electrocatalytic activity of bismuth oxide (Bi 2 O 3 ). The introduction of Pd increases the current density and Faradaic efficiency of HCOOH (FE HCOOH ) in flow cell system. As a result, the optimized Pd-Bi catalyst exhibits a FE HCOOH of 99.1 % at −0.7 (V vs RHE). Operating experimental studies coupled with theoretical calculations reveal that the Pd modified active sites exhibit near-optimal binding energy for the key *OCHO intermediate, which is more conducive to the generation of formic acid. Furthermore, the use of an asymmetric low-frequency pulsed strategy stabilizes the active sites, ensuring sustained catalytic performance. This study highlights the potential of Pd-doped Bi 2 O 3 as a promising candidate for efficient and selective CO 2 electroreduction to formic acid.

The CO 2 electroreduction reaction using sustainable electricity emerges as a viable strategy to produce high-value-added and profitable chemicals. The achievement of superior activity at a lower overpotential and higher selectivity in a wide potential window is vitally important for large-scale industrial applications. Herein, a carbon-composite amorphous porous BiSbO x nanotube with abundant unsaturated sites is reported to boost the conversion of CO 2 to formate, exhibiting a formate selectivity of >90% in an extremely broad range of potentials from −0.5 to −1.4 V versus reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE) and a maximal energy conversion efficiency of 77.1%. Importantly, pure formic acid solution is directly obtained in a solid-electrolyte cell for industrial-scale applications. The porous tubular structure can expose more catalytic active sites, accelerate the mass transfer, and show fast surface charge transfer. Moreover, the unique coordination-unsaturated Sb-stabilized BiO 8−x site can not only enhance the adsorption and activation of CO 2 but also reasonably balance the stabilization and hydrogenation of *OCHO intermediate, thus leading to its obviously higher catalytic performance. As a result, a novel amorphous porous BiSbO x nanotube is successfully designed for efficient CO 2 electroreduction, which may shed new light on developing many more amorphous composite metal oxide catalysts for conversion of inert small molecules.
