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(CuxS) 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 CuxS in CO2 electroreduction were reviewed.And the main challenges that CuxS faces in the CO2RR field were also pointed out.The development prospect of CuxS catalysts as electrocatalysts for CO2 reduction with high activity and stability was prospected.

Key words: electrocatalysis, carbon dioxide electroreduction, Cu-based chalcogenides, formate
