Carbon dioxide electroreduction (CO2R) is being actively studied as a promising route to convert carbon emissions to valuable chemicals and fuels. However, the fraction of input CO2 that is productively reduced has typically been very low, <2% for multicarbon products; the balance reacts with hydroxide to form carbonate in both alkaline and neutral reactors. Acidic electrolytes would overcome this limitation, but hydrogen evolution has hitherto dominated under those conditions. We report that concentrating potassium cations in the vicinity of electrochemically active sites accelerates CO2 activation to enable efficient CO2R in acid. We achieve CO2R on copper at pH <1 with a single-pass CO2 utilization of 77%, including a conversion efficiency of 50% toward multicarbon products (ethylene, ethanol, and 1-propanol) at a current density of 1.2 amperes per square centimeter and a full-cell voltage of 4.2 volts.

In response to global energy and environmental issues, development of efficient and robust earth-abundant electrocatalysts for hydrogen evolution reaction is particularly meaningful. In this study, a facile hydrothermal method is developed to synthesize porous CoS2 nanostructures by using sulfur powder and thiourea as sulfur sources on carbon cloths for highly efficient hydrogen evolution reactions. The huge load of CoS2 on carbon cloth,their unique porous nanostructures equiped CoS2 nanomaterials with excellent electrocatalytic properties. The remarkable HER catalytic performance was achieved with -67 mV at a current density -10 mA cm-2 and the Tafel slope 62 mV dec-1 in 0.5 M H2SO4 solution. The overpotential of HER only lost 2 mV after 1000 cycles with remarkable stability. I think this work opens up a low cost and scalable route to fabricate transition metal-based materials for application in electrocatalysis.
