Probing the role of surface speciation of tin oxide and tin catalysts on CO2 electroreduction combining in situ Raman spectroscopy and reactivity investigations

Abstract

Abstract:

Electrochemical CO₂ reduction to formate is a promising approach to store renewable electricity and utilize CO₂. Tin oxide catalysts are efficient catalysts for this process, while the mechanisms underneath, especially the existence and role of oxidized tin species under CO₂ electroreduction conditions remain unclear. In this work, we provide strong evidence on the presence of oxidized tin species on both SnO₂ and Sn during CO₂ reduction via in situ surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy, while in different nature. Reactivity measurements show similar activity and selectivity to formate production on SnO₂ and Sn catalysts. Combined analysis of Raman spectra and reactivity results suggests that Sn(IV) and Sn(II) oxide species are unlikely the catalytic species in CO₂ electroreduction to formate.
