Abstract:
Electroreduction of CO 2 (CO 2 RR) into high value‐added chemicals is an attractive route to achieve carbon neutrality. However, the development of an efficient catalyst for CO 2 RR is still largely by trial‐and‐error and is very time‐consuming. Herein, we built an electrocatalyst testing platform featuring a home‐built automatic flow cell to accelerate the discovery of efficient catalysts. A fast screening of 109 Cu‐based bimetallic catalysts in only 55 h identifies Mg combined with Cu as the best electrocatalyst for CO 2 to C 2+ products. The thus designed Mg−Cu catalyst achieves a Faradaic efficiency (FE) of C 2+ products up to 80 % with a current density of 1.0 A cm −2 at −0.77 V versus reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE). Systematic experiments with in situ spectroelectrochemistry analyses show that Mg 2+ species stabilize Cu + sites during CO 2 RR and promote the CO 2 activation, thus enhancing the *CO coverage to promote C−C coupling.
