【 摘 要 】

The climate change imposes to mankind a severe management of CO2 emissions in atmosphere. CO2 valorization through electrocatalysis revealed to be a valuable solution to this global issue. SnO2 is an electrocatalyst widely investigated for its capability to reduce CO2 to formic acid. In particular, mesoporous SnO2 offers a high adsorption capability, resulting in a high catalytic activity. In order to improve its performance, Fe-doping is here investigated for the first time. We observed that Fe-doped SnO2 exhibits a remarkable 100% enhancement of the partial current density for HCOOH production at relatively low overpotentials, although keeping the selectivity unchanged.
