报告简介：

CO2 capture and utilization can be a feasible way for the net-zero transition of the chemical industry when concerted efforts buildup the carbon-capture-and-utilization value chain worldwide. The frontier research on CO2 electrolyzers focuses on increasing selectivity toward a single product, promoting energy efficiency, reducing CO2 crossover, and enhancing stability. The first part of this presentation will introduce our recent progress in developing tandem electrodes for promoting the C-C coupling (rate-determining step, RDS) kinetics and designing catalysts based on reaction descriptor for steering the post-C-C coupling selectivity (selectivity-determining step, SDS). The collective control of RDS and SDS could direct CO2 conversion to C2H4 with 70% Faradaic efficiency and a partial current density of >1.5 A cm-2. The second part of this presentation will address the coupled carbon and energy efficiencies by pairing CO2 reduction with electrochemical oxidative dehydrogenation and efficient oxygen evolution reaction under pure water conditions. Finally, this talk will present the visualization of electrode flooding causing CO2 reduction performance degradation and discuss strategies to mitigate flooding when operating at a current density of industrial relevance.
