Manipulating the in‐plane defects of metal–nitrogen–carbon catalysts to regulate the electroreduction reaction of CO2 (CO2RR) remains a challenging task. Here, it is demonstrated that the activity of the intrinsic carbon defects can be dramatically improved through coupling with single‐atom Fe–N4 sites. The resulting catalyst delivers a maximum CO Faradaic efficiency of 90% and a CO partial current density of 33 mA cm−2 in 0.1 m KHCO3. The remarkable enhancements are maintained in concentrated electrolyte, endowing a rechargeable Zn–CO2 battery with a high CO selectivity of 86.5% at 5 mA cm−2. Further analysis suggests that the intrinsic defect is the active sites for CO2RR, instead of the Fe–N4 center. Density functional theory calculations reveal that the Fe–N4 coupled intrinsic defect exhibits a reduced energy barrier for CO2RR and suppresses the hydrogen evolution activity. The high intrinsic activity, coupled with fast electron‐transfer capability and abundant exposed active sites, induces excellent electrocatalytic performance.

Fe-N4单点碳平面中固有缺陷驱动的二氧化碳的电还原

操纵金属-氮-碳催化剂的面内缺陷来调节CO 2(CO 2 RR)的电还原反应仍然是一项艰巨的任务。在此证明,通过与单原子Fe–N 4位点偶联,可以显着提高固有碳缺陷的活性。生成的催化剂在0.1 m KHCO 3中提供90%的最大CO法拉第效率和33 mA cm -2的CO分流密度。浓缩电解液中的显着增强得以保持,使可充电Zn-CO 2电池具有较高的5 mA cm -2时的CO选择性为86.5%。进一步的分析表明,固有缺陷是CO 2 RR的活性位点,而不是Fe–N 4中心。密度泛函理论计算表明,Fe–N 4耦合的固有缺陷对CO 2 RR的能垒降低,并抑制了析氢活性。高固有活性,再加上快速的电子转移能力和丰富的暴露活性位点,可诱导出色的电催化性能。
