Advances in Sn-based electrocatalysts for selective reduction of CO₂ to formate

Abstract

The selective reduction of carbon dioxide (CO₂) into high-value-added chemicals is one of the most effective means to solve the current energy and environmental problems, which could realize the utilization of CO₂ and promote the balance of the carbon cycle. Formate is one of the most economical and practical products of all the electrochemical CO₂ reduction products. Among the many metal-based electrocatalysts that can convert CO₂ into formate, Sn-based catalysts have received a lot of attention because of their low-cost, non-toxic characteristics and high selectivity for formate. In this article, the most recent development of Sn-based electrocatalysts is comprehensively summarized by giving examples, which are mainly divided into monometallic Sn, alloyed Sn, Sn-based compounds and Sn composite catalysts. Finally, the current performance enhancement strategies and future directions of the field are summarized.
