Abstract

A previously unreported CO2 reduction electrocatalyst consisting of MnCe as the active site and melamine foam (MS) as the carrier precursor is proposed. The MS were prepared into carbonized melamine foam (CMS) and graphene oxide- activated melamine foam (GOMS) by activation, respectively. And Mn and Ce were impregnated on the above substrates to synthesize MnCe-CMS and MnCe-GOMS catalysts for the electrocatalytic CO2 reduction to formic acid. It was found that MnCe-MS (MnCe-CMS and MnCe-GOMS) had a wide potential range (–0.2~–3 V vs. RHE) and better formic acid production ability. Among them, the Faraday efficiency of formic acid (FEf) on MnCe-CMS was 63.04% at –0.4 V, and the yield rate of formic acid (Yf) was 470.89 μg•h–1•cm–2 at –3.0 V. MnCe-GOMS showed better electrocatalytic activity, with a FEf of 75.72% at –0.6 V (when the Yf=661.99 μg•h–1•cm–2), and optimal Yf of 746.9 μg•h–1•cm–2 at –0.8 V. In addition, no other products (e.g., acetic acid, methanol, ethanol, CO, methane) were detected during the reaction, suggesting that MnCe-MS has a good formic acid selectivity. Compared with the MnCe-CC, which are based on the commonly used carbon cloth (CC) as a carrier, the Yf of MnCe-CMS and MnCe-GOMS were increased to 2.3 and 2.8 times, and the FEf were increased to 2.3 and 2.5 times, respectively, at the optimal potential of MnCe-CC of –0.4 V. This is attributed to the rich pore structure and large electrochemical surface area of the MS material, which can easily form carbon defects during the preparation, thus favoring the adsorption of CO2. Moreover, under the joint action of Mn and Ce, it effectively promotes electron transport, inhibits the competition reaction of hydrogen precipitation, and forms oxygen vacancies, which is conducive to the adsorption, activation and conversion of CO2, thus promoting the formation of formic acid.

Key words： electrocatalytic CO2 reduction reaction; formic acid; Mn; Ce; melamine foam; graphene oxide activation; high temperature carbonization
