摘要

The climate crisis caused by excessive carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions urgently call for efficient electrocatalytic reduction technology to convert CO2 into high value-added products. In this study, nickel polyphthalocyanine (NiPPc) electrocatalysts with different copper (Cu) doping amounts (10–90 wt%) were prepared by solvothermal method, Combining X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and other characterization and electrochemical testing, it is found that: Doping with 10 wt% Cu significantly enhanced catalytic activity, achieving a current density of 325 mA cm−2 at − 0.6 V (vs. RHE)—2.8 times that of the sample; 50 wt% Cu doping optimized the Cu–N4 active sites, yielding a carbon monoxide (CO) Faraday efficiency of up to 95% at − 1.0 V; 30 wt% Cu-doped catalyst can generate CO: H2 = 1:1 syngas, A controllable catalyst design strategy is provided for CO2 electrocatalytic reduction.
