Abstract

The electronic configuration of central metal atoms in single-atom catalysts (SACs) is pivotal in electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (eCO2RR). Herein, chalcogen heteroatoms (e.g., S, Se, and Te) were incorporated into the symmetric nickel-nitrogen-carbon (Ni-N4-C) configuration to obtain Ni-X-N3-C (X: S, Se, and Te) SACs with asymmetric coordination presented for central Ni atoms. Among these obtained Ni-X-N3-C (X: S, Se, and Te) SACs, Ni-Se-N3-C exhibited superior eCO2RR activity, with CO selectivity reaching ~98% at −0.70 V versus reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE). The Zn-CO2 battery integrated with Ni-Se-N3-C as cathode and Zn foil as anode achieved a peak power density of 1.82 mW cm–2 and maintained remarkable rechargeable stability over 20 h. In-situ spectral investigations and theoretical calculations demonstrated that the chalcogen heteroatoms doped into the Ni-N4-C configuration would break coordination symmetry and trigger charge redistribution, and then regulate the intermediate behaviors and thermodynamic reaction pathways for eCO2RR. Especially, for Ni-Se-N3-C, the introduced Se atoms could significantly raise the d-band center of central Ni atoms and thus remarkably lower the energy barrier for the rate-determining step of *COOH formation, contributing to the promising eCO2RR performance for high selectivity CO production by competing with hydrogen evolution reaction.

掺杂查耳根杂原子的镍-氮-碳单原子不对称配位催化剂用于高效的二氧化碳电化学还原反应
单原子催化剂(SAC)中中心金属原子的电子构型在电化学二氧化碳还原反应(eCO2RR)中至关重要。在此,我们在对称的镍-氮-碳(Ni-N4-C)构型中加入了查耳根杂原子(如 S、Se 和 Te),从而获得了镍中心原子配位不对称的 Ni-X-N3-C (X: S、Se 和 Te) SACs。在这些获得的 Ni-X-N3-C (X:S、Se 和 Te)SAC 中,Ni-Se-N3-C 表现出卓越的 eCO2RR 活性,与可逆氢电极(RHE)相比,在 -0.70 V 电压下,CO 选择性达到约 98%。原位光谱研究和理论计算表明,掺杂到 Ni-N4-C 构型中的缩醛杂原子会打破配位对称性并引发电荷再分布,进而调节 eCO2RR 的中间行为和热力学反应途径。特别是对于 Ni-Se-N3-C 而言,引入的 Se 原子可显著提高中心 Ni 原子的 d 带中心,从而显著降低 *COOH 形成的速率决定步骤的能垒,这有助于 eCO2RR 通过与氢进化反应竞争而实现高选择性 CO 生产的良好性能。
