Abstract:

Electrocatalytic caybon dioxide reduction reaction（CO₂RR） has attracted widespread attention for its help in reducing atmospheric CO₂ concentration to alleviate environmental problems and producing high value-added chemicals.As one of the most important products of CO₂ electroreduction,formate is widely used in chemical industry,fuel cell and other fields.Cu-based chalcogenides（Cu_xS） have broad application prospects due to their low price and excellent catalytic performance.Based on this,researchers have devoted much effort to nanostructure regulation,electrolytes optimization and feed composition control to promote the catalytic activities and formate selectivity of Cu-based chalcogenides toward electrocatalytic CO₂RR.Recent advances in structural design of catalysts,influential factors and catalytic mechanism for Cu_xS in CO₂ electroreduction were reviewed.And the main challenges that Cu_xS faces in the CO₂RR field were also pointed out.The development prospect of Cu_xS catalysts as electrocatalysts for CO₂ reduction with high activity and stability was prospected.
