文摘

A novel non–noble metal catalyst has been synthesized for electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction. The active site of the catalyst is uncovered to be the metallic state of the precursor SnS2 nanosheets. The residual SnS2 is found to enhance the CO2 reduction performance. This sulfide–derived metal catalyst could be a new promising class of materials for electrocatalytic reduction of CO2.
