摘要/Abstract

摘要： It is well-known that the electrolytes can influence the electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide (ERCO₂) in aqueous media. In this work, we explore the effects of alkali metal cations and anions (Li⁺, Na⁺, K⁺, Rb⁺, Cs⁺, HCO₃^-, Cl^-, Br^-, I^-) on the current density and product selectivity for the ERCO₂ into formic acid (HCOOH) on the SnO₂/carbon paper (SnO₂/C) electrode. Results of the ERCO₂ experiments show that for the cations, the promotion effects on current density and faradaic efficiencies (FEs) are in the order of Li⁺ < Na⁺ < K⁺ < Cs⁺ < Rb⁺. For the anions, the current density values are in the order of NaHCO₃ < NaCl < NaBr < NaI and KHCO₃ < KCl ≈ KI < KBr, respectively, and that on the FEs for the formation of the HCOOH (FE_HCOOH) is HCO₃^- < Cl^- < Br^- < I^-. Based on this result, the effects of alkali metal cations and anions on ERCO₂ are discussed.
